I don't know if it would help, but PLT Scheme has been thru this and
Matthew Flatt has a nice test suite that you can see here:
http://svn.plt-scheme.org/plt/trunk/collects/tests/mzscheme/number.ss
To help read the code, when you see something like:
(test a b c ...)
that is the same thing a
Yeah, I think it boils down to different representations of NaN on
different platform. I guess I forgot to test for NaN when I wrote
(the C code for) decodeFloat. It should generate some consistent
result.
On the other hand, if you have code that possible divides by 0
and don't check for it, wel
In Haskell, the
behaviour of functions on floating-point values which are NaN can
be platform dependent.
