I presume you mean if (isnan(x)) return (x + x); Do you have a test case that shows that? As far as I can tell, all the FPUs I have access to will return a quietened variant of the input NaN in this case (ie, only the signalling bit is altered). --=20 Peter Jeremy --DBIVS5p969aUjpLe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAlAMjVYACgkQ/opHv/APuIcdBQCeIi9S9Yq+faBLz7W9dLuYbAVD O3cAn1psBIXlikmAG3Au8jyyhxwoGbEZ =D0AN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --DBIVS5p969aUjpLe--
