Subject: [Bug math/30040] nextafter(0.0, 1.0) does not correctly set errno

--- Comment #2 from Pascal Cuoq <pascal_cuoq at hotmail dot com> ---
I see.

In this case the man page that can currently be read at
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/nextafter.3.html is wrong, since it
describes the behavior as:

       If x is not equal to y, and the correct function result would be
       subnormal, zero, or underflow, a range error occurs, and either
       the correct value (if it can be represented), or 0.0, is
       returned.

But this of course is not Glibc's fault (chuckle).
