I haven't figured out why this happens, but on one of my computers
running kubuntu 13.10 g++ says the following if one tries to use
quadruple precision math:
/home/erne/src/ewoms/ewoms/common/quad.hh: In static member function ‘static quad std::numeric_limits<__float128>::min()’:
/home/erne/src/ewoms/ewoms/common/quad.hh:52:14: error: unable to find numeric literal operator ‘operator"" Q’
{ return FLT128_MIN; }
since this happens only on this machine and only with the c++ (but
not the C) compiler, i suppose that this is either an upgrade issue
with kubuntu or an issue with the ubuntu gcc stack. Strangely enough,
my other kubuntu machine does not have a problem with that...
In any case also testing for assignability of constants and using the
C++ compiler for the quadmath test won't hurt...
Seems like I forgot to include the "CheckCSourceCompiles" macro before
using it. Since it worked for me before, I'm wondering what made this
happen. Anyway, it should now work correctly in all cases.
