I am seeing the following regression failure for current CVS. On my OS,
BSD/OS 4.3, it seems once you hit Infinity, you can't negate it.
/usr/include/math.h has:
/* Generate an overflow to create +Inf; the multiply shuts up gcc 1 */
#define HUGE_VAL (1e250*1e250) /* IEEE: positive infinity */
and our float4in code has:
else if (strcasecmp(num, "-Infinity") == 0)
val = -HUGE_VAL;
Seems that doesn't work for me.
