I don't feel a need to change isinf.c --- it should be zero-maintenance at this point, especially if we suspect it is no longer used anywhere. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Thoughts? Two comments: 1. I don't think the buildfarm is sufficient evidence to conclude that isinf.c is required nowhere. It was in use as late as 2004, judging by the git history, and I don't know of good reason to assume we do not need it now. 2. POSIX:2008 only requires that "The isinf() macro shall return a non-zero value if and only if its argument has an infinite value." Therefore, any assumption about the sign of the result is wrong anyway, and any patch that depends on it will be rejected, regardless of what isinf.c does. Or else, if you can convince us that such an assumption is really valuable, we'd need isinf.c more not less so that we can replace isinf() on platforms where it doesn't meet the stronger spec. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Looking at what is in the buildfarm, I noticed that isinf is provided
everywhere. Attached is a patch. Thoughts?

That's the case on OSX, but on Linux -1 is returned for -Inf, and 1 for +Inf.

Actually, is there actually a reason to keep this file in the code
tree? Are there platforms that do not have isinf()? Even for Windows
environments using MSVC < 1800 this is emulated using _fpclass.

[HACKERS] Patch: make behavior of all versions of the "isinf" function be similar
Hello, hackers!
While I was searching for a function which checks doubles for
infinity, I discovered a function "isinf" in a file src/port/isinf.c
where one of three versions returns different value for "-inf" ("1"
instead of "-1") comparing to the other two.
It seems concrete values (not just "if isinf(...)") are checked only
in float.c in float4out and float8out, but I am going to check for
concrete values in my another patch.
For systems with HAVE_FPCLASS the function returns the same result for
both "+inf" and "-inf". I can't test it on my WS, but I found only one
man page[1] where system header file "ieeefp.h" must be included for
ability to use "fpclass" function.
I guess nothing will be broken if that version of the function returns
the same results for input values as the other two.
Proposed patch makes that behavior.
P.S.: Should the patch be added to the next CF?
