OpenVMS ALPCXXL01_062 Alpha V6.2 DEC C++ Class RTL ECO Summary

 
NOTE:  An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
       on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
       The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe
       for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha.
 
       Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded
       by typing RUN compressed_file.  The resultant file will
       be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which
       can be used to install the ECO.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for the DEC C++ Class Libraries on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2
through V6.2-1H3.  This kit addresses the following problems: 

  o  When the Complex Library exp() function detects an underflow
     error, the resulting value is now (0,0) instead of 
     (+/-max-float, +/- max-float).

  o  The division routines within the Complex Library now catch
     divide-by-zero errors instead of signaling them.

  o  The String extraction operator now takes care of dynamically
     allocating the String to accommodate the input.

  o  When you open a file specifying ios::ate but not ios::app to
     the filebuf open()function, the file is no longer opened in
     O_APPEND mode.  This incorrect behavior caused all data to be
     written to the end of the file, regardless of the current file
     position.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

The system/cluster does not need to be rebooted after this kit is 
installed.
