Subject: sqrt with negative arg.
Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2003 15:36:31 -0600 (CST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200312312136.hBVLaVd00009@raven.dms.auburn.edu> (raw)

A few hours ago, the documentation of sqrt in numbers.texi was
changed from saying that it returns a NaN to saying that it signals a
domain-error.  It definitely returns a NaN on my machine.  What about
the following, which I could install if we agree on it:

*** 1146,1152 ****
  
  @defun sqrt arg
  This returns the square root of @var{arg}.  If @var{arg} is negative,
! it signals a @code{domain-error} error.
  @end defun

  @defun sqrt arg
  This returns the square root of @var{arg}.  If @var{arg} is negative,
! @code{sqrt} could return a NaN or signal a @code{domain-error} error,
! depending on the implementation.
  @end defun
