Hello, I'm embedding the octave interpreter in a c++ program. I convert my c++ variables to strings to pass them to octave (using the eval_string function like explained in the octave_embed.tar.gz example) and I take them back writing a file from octave and reading it from c++.
I have to use the gcc compiler and not the mkoctfile (like is done the example) because I'm embedding octave in a big program that has an huge Makefile, so what I do is just to modify this makefile adding the needed libs.
Once compiled and linked (no problems doing that), I run my program and just after called the octave_main(int argc, char*[]argv,int embedded) function I have a floating point exception. In the octave manual I read that if octave crashes immediately with a floating point exception it could be that octave fail to initialize the IEEE floating point values for infinity and NaN.
But octave run correctly on my system, I've not such error when I run it normally from a shell. Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem?
