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?
