Subject: bug#5916: XFLOAT_DATA and signed zeroes
Date: Sat, 10 Apr 2010 01:39:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100409233923.GT17637@prunille.vinc17.org> (raw)

Hi,

I don't know whether there's really a bug (I haven't tested the
trunk), but someone pointed a suspicious macro[*]. The change
(on 2009-08-17) is here:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=6f0c16bc45815337d520a9393f8de5f9c14a06d4

It is said:

  lisp.h (XFLOAT_DATA): Produce an rvalue by adding 0 to the value.

However, adding 0 has another side effect on floats: the 0 is
converted into +0.0 (due to the addition with a double), so that
a -0.0 is transformed into a +0.0.

Could someone try the following?

  (/ 1.0 (- 0.0))

The correct result should be -1.0e+INF (negative infinity).
