The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted to comp.lang.lisp as well.
Is there a simple way to achieve the following in sbcl and / or ecl: I use (sb-ext::set-floating-point-modes :traps nil) to make sbcl generate things like #.SB-EXT:DOUBLE-FLOAT-POSITIVE-INFINITY. Curiously, float itself still signals an error, when called with a large integer. (float (expt 10 1000) 0.0d0) Could somebody send me the magic to change this. (I.e., I'd like to get POSITIVE-INFINITY, NEGATIVE-INFINITY, NAN depending on the first argument I'm giving to float) Many thanks, Martin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
