Package: manpages-dev Version: 2.62-1 Severity: normal The copysign(3) man page says:
The copysign() functions return a value whose absolute value matches that of x, but whose sign matches that of y. If x is a NaN, then a NaN with the sign of y is returned. But this is ambiguous if y is 0 or NaN. It should say: The copysign() functions return a value whose absolute value matches that of x, but whose sign bit matches that of y. If x is a NaN, then a NaN with the sign bit of y is returned. (The IEEE 754-1985 standard and Draft 1.4.0 of 754r are also ambiguous, but I hope this will be fixed in the next draft.) This is important, because in lgamma(3), the "sign" has another meaning. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages manpages-dev depends on: ii manpages 2.62-1 Manual pages about using a GNU/Lin manpages-dev recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
