It's a macro to define a function which accepts two floats and returns a float: FUNC2(funcname, func, docstring). On Windows _copysign is always defined and on other systems we can use HAVE_COPYSIGN. I added it to configure.in a while ago. Christian

takes care of it. It's a macro to define a function which accepts two

On Windows _copysign is always defined and on other systems we can use
HAVE_COPYSIGN. I added it to configure.in a while ago.
