Hi,

I am porting some code from VC6 to .net 2003 VC7.1.  The code is to do
yield curve interpolation, therefore precision is important.  I have
found some strange behavior in the VC7.1 environment.  Allow me to show
the problem:

...
    double_v    strikes;
    strikes.reserve(11);
    strikes.push_back(0.00750);
    strikes.push_back(0.01965);
    strikes.push_back(0.02000);
    strikes.push_back(0.02076);
    strikes.push_back(0.05000);
    strikes.push_back(0.09000);
...
When I examine the values in strikes in the VC6 debugger, I can see the
exact number that I inserted.  In the VC7.1 debugger, some of the
numbers in strikes are different by a very small fraction.  The numbers
shown in the VC71 debugger are:

strikes._M_start,6
    [0]    0.0074999999999999997
    [1]    0.019650000000000001
    [2]    0.020000000000000000
    [3]    0.020760000000000001
    [4]    0.050000000000000003
    [5]    0.089999999999999997

I am using stlport4.6.2 which I don't think it is the cause of the
problem.  I am new to the MS environment, even newer to the VC71 world.
My question is why these 2 environments are different and how to work
around it.  

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
