Re: [avr-gcc-list] update on the last issue

Thank you. 
Okay.. i can live with that.. for now.. but my issue is.. will the
long long addition be correct?
Also if it is, then why isnt the solution for the equation to
calculate a (slope) and b(offset) coming out incorrect. For the above
code where I hand coded the values of all long longs
   table.sumX = 12338578LL;
       table.sumY = -3336078LL;
       table.sumXSquared = 7260107358192LL; 
       table.sumXY = -1646741910392LL; 
        denom = ( table.n * table.sumXSquared - table.sumX * table.sumX);
        if (denom != 0)
               a = (double)( table.n * table.sumXY - table.sumY *
table.sumX) / denom;
        b = (double)(table.sumY - a * table.sumX) / table.n;

     sprintf(OutputMsg,"**************** A=%f     B=%f ***********\r\n",a,b);
     UARTOutput(DBG_ERROR,"%s", &OutputMsg);

I get on the UART

**************** A=-0.045255     B=-106838.632813 ***********

While the actual values of a and b that i have precomputed should be a
= -0.000208 , and b = -133340.419011
Is the above code doing something fundamentally beyond the capabilities
of avr-lib? Please tell me if that is a case and coudl you suggest an
alternative to do such maths on atmel 128L?

regards
Affan
