Hi Marc, I was looking at the new 'isinf.c' function in the src/backend/port directory. I have a question about the inclusion of cases for FP_SNAN and FP_QNAN. Does the 'isinf' function mean "not finite" or "is infinity"? If it is to mean "not finite", then (IMHO) then checking for FP_SNAN and FP_QNAN is appropiate. If it is to mean "is infinity", then the function should only be checking (again, IHMO) for FP_NINF and FP_PINF. -- ____ | Billy G.
