Anyone, feel free to disagree if I am missing > something. I have no opinion any about M$ implementation of double prettyprinting, but I agree that "-1.#IO" looks strange. WWW seems to say that "-1.INF" and "-1.IND" are the "normal" way for windows to say infinity or not a number. Well, if someone there thought it look good, I cannot help it. > Still, it would be cool to have better error message when there is no > value to show up to the user, like "no latency average" or "undefined > latency average". That would be more elegant, and the patches proposed > still lack that. Hmmm. I do not buy that for several reasons: For --progress style reporting you want NaN or whatever, because the output could be processed further unix-style from a pipe (grep/cut/...). This is also true for the final report. I would not want to change the output organisations for some special values, I would just like to get the value whatever it is, "NaN" or "Infinity" or even "-1.IND", so that the pipe commands would work. Also, for the final report, it seems to me overkill to try to work around cases when pgbench does not run any transactions, which is basically not often, as the point is to run many transactions. Finally this behavior already exists, the patch does not change anything AFAICS, and it is not its purpose. So I would suggest to keep it that way. -- Fabien.
