* [Bug math/6785] New: erf() does not set errno for underflow

When erf() is given a subnormal argument, it raises an underflow exception.
However errno is not set. It should be set to ERANGE.
Background:
On error, many glibc math functions both set errno and raise an exception
(fetestexcept(3)). For example, the following function all do this: acos(),
asin(), cosh(), sinh(), acosh(), asinh(), exp(), exp2(), ldexp(), log(),
log10(), log2(). However, there is much inconsistency. Some functions raise an
exception, but don't set errno. Some functions set errno for some errors, but
not others. A few set errno, but don't raise an exception. This series of bug
reports documents deviations from what I consider the ideal: all functions
should BOTH set errno AND raise an exception for all errors.
All of these reports relate to tests on glibc 2.8 (as provided by SUSE 11.0).

IMHO there is a related bug in gcc. See
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64101

--- Comment #3 from Joseph Myers <jsm28 at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
It's now documented that errno is only intended to be set to ERANGE for
underflow to 0, not for underflow to subnormals, and erf can't underflow to 0
(the result for small x is about x * 2/sqrt(pi)).
