I am under the impression that the FreeBSD (gnu) C-compiler does IEEE 754 compatible floating poing arithmetic and that this means that floating point operations like (1.0 / 0.0) should return a special value that means +infinity. What I get is a core dump. Am I supposed to include some special math library or give some special cc command option?
