[Cfp-interest 1477] Re: complex multiplication and division

[Damian McGuckin]

I tried your program on a GCC 9.2.1 on Power9, and GCC 4.8.1 and 8.? on 
Xeon. I was specifically looking at division because something is very 
obviously wrong. You mentioned:

>  /* MPC gives       (-3.5164330596706266e-225,1.5876733750267203e+173) */
>  /* GCC 9.2.1 gives (1.1710898434244477e-223,1.5876733750267203e+173) */
>  /* ICC 19.0.4.243: (-3.5164330596706266e-225,1.5876733750267203e+173) */

I get the same answer as MPC. Not your answer. On an ancient Xeon with GCC 
4.4.7, I get your 1.171.....e-223 answer. A quick guess is that something 
is probably not quite right with your installation of GCC. But I could be
wrong.
