Expected results:
compilation success

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2016-03-29 14:15:25 UTC
The error is correct.  Hexadecimal floats are part of C99, C11 and the upcoming C++17 standards, while for C89, C++11 and C++14 they are just extensions.
So, you need -std=gnu89, -std=gnu++11 or -std=gnu++14 instead of -std=c89, -std=c++11 or -std=c++14 to enable them (or -std=c99, -std=c11, -std=c++17).
