88
the C library's <TT

functions rely on the math library package to provide certain functionality. If the math library package is removed then the C

library can no longer provide these functions. Each package describes constraints like these in CDL <SPAN

103
be several resolution options. For example, it would be possible to add the math library package back to the
104
configuration, or to disable the <TT
105
CLASS="FUNCTION"
106
>strtod()</TT

120
any attempt at building <SPAN

124
<TT

128
><P
129
>Many constraints are fairly simple in nature, and the configuration tools contain an inference engine which can
130
resolve the associated conflicts automatically. For example, if the math library package is removed then the
131
inference engine can resolve the resulting conflict by disabling the configuration option for <TT
132
CLASS="FUNCTION"
133
>strtod()</TT
134
> and <TT
135
CLASS="FUNCTION"
136
>atof()</TT
137
>. All
138
such changes will be reported. Sometimes the inference engine cannot resolve a conflict, for example it is not
139
allowed to override a change that has been made explicitly by the user. Sometimes it will find a solution which does
140
not match the application's requirements. </P
