Hello Michael,
Quoting from Joseph's comment on this Bugzilla's ticket:
"It may not be intended, but it's not a bug either, since ISO C requires
the arguments to these macros to be of real floating type, and it's long
been the case that the comparison macros such as isless use the
type-generic built-in functions directly and so produce errors for
arguments of integer type."
Well I'm not that expert with ISO C standard but how to not consider it a bug although glibc 2.21 on the Ubuntu 15.10 did not give that error?
Do you think it's worth testing different EPICS base versions on the new platform and request doing changes? Or wait for the next glibc update?.
Best Regards,
Abdalla Ahmad
