CGAL users discussion list

[Edoardo Milotti <>]

I am using the Intel compiler on Mac OS X and cgal 3.5.0 compiled with g++ 
4.4 and the macports makefile. Since icc does not have the -frounding-math 
option, the linked program returns an error (the internal rounding-math test 
fails). 
I found out that the internal test can be disabled simply changing lines 
76-77 in the Interval_nt.h header file to 

#if !defined(CGAL_DISABLE_ROUNDING_MATH_CHECK) && defined(__INTEL_COMPILER)

In the original file the internal test is disabled only on linux systems, 
while in this way it is always disabled for the Intel compiler. With this fix 
my program runs, however I wonder whether this is correct, and if it is, 
shouldn't it be included in future versions of CGAL?
