Using GLUT with Microsoft OpenGL 1.1 and compiling GLUT with Borland compilers causes GLUT applications to generates floating point exceptions. What can be done?
A39: Under certain conditions (e.g. while rendering solid surfaces with lighting enabled) MS libraries cause some illegal operations like floating point overflow or division by zero. The default behaviour of Microsoft compilers is to mask (ignore) floating point exceptions, while Borland compilers do not. A function of Borland run-time library allows to mask exceptions. Modify glut_init.
