Synopsis: too large constant should be an error
State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: rth
State-Changed-When: Wed Apr 24 15:06:26 2002
State-Changed-Why:
You got a diagnostic, which is all that is required by the standard.
As for why 1e999 is useful, this is a common way to get
HUGE_VAL defined as either +Inf or DBL_MAX, depending on
whether the target supports infinities.
