Comment (by simonpj):
So the problem here is a narrow one: how does one write down the IEEE
Double constant for infinity, in such a way that the C compiler
understands it. Does one write "1e400" or "1e10000000" (both are too big
to be represented) or is there a kosher way to do it?
Or can one say "0xblablah" where that's the IEEE bit pattern for infinity?
Or perhaps "1/0" would do? I don't know.
