From: "mtk dot manpages at gmail dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla@sourceware.org> To: glibc-bugs@sources.redhat.com Subject: [Bug math/6776] New: pow() pole error sets errno to EDOM, should be ERANGE Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2008 10:50:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <20080730104947.6776.mtk.manpages@gmail.com> (raw) The POSIX.1 specification of pow says for a pole error: == Pole Error The value of x is zero and y is negative. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the divide-by-zero floating-point exception shall be raised. == glibc 2.8's pow() does raise the divide-by-zero, as expected. It also sets errno, but to the wrong value: errno is set to EDOM, when it should instead be ERANGE. -- Summary: pow() pole error sets errno to EDOM, should be ERANGE Product: glibc Version: unspecified Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: math AssignedTo: aj at suse dot de ReportedBy: mtk dot manpages at gmail dot com CC: glibc-bugs at sources dot redhat dot com http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6776 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
