Thanks for the bug report. Are you using the irix compiler?
If so, is this the problem? (from the cc manpage),
IEEE_comparisons[=(OFF|ON)] Force all comparisons to yield
results conforming to the IEEE 754 standard for NaN and Inf operands.
If this option is OFF (the default case), certain optimizations will
produce non- IEEE results for comparisons involving NaN and Inf
values, e.g. 'x==x' will be treated as TRUE without executing a test.

Yes, we are using the IRIX MIPSpro C compiler, and yes, the
IEEE_comparisons=ON did the trick. Thanks.
Unfortunately, it appears that our cc man page may be a bit out of date.
When we first started looking at compiler options for our problem, we
didn't come across anything. Then when you suggested the IEEE_comparisons
option, I did a search in the man page and ... it wasn't there! Then we
noticed the man page header says "Last changed: 4-15-99". We know that
our compiler version is newer than that, so we figured the IEEE_comparisons
option is available but didn't know how to invoke it. After a couple of
trial and errors, we got it to work with -OPT:IEEE_comparisons=ON.
What is the last changed date on your IRIX cc manpage?
Thanks again for the fix.
Lowell

Ok, I'll add this to the MACHINES file.

I found it from a web search, it said 'last changed 4-7-99', but the
manpage was actually for opt(5).
Reading more closely it looks like IEEE_comparisons is deprecated
and -OPT:IEEE_NaN_inf=ON is now the preferred option.

Only one test issue remains in our IRIX GSL 0.9.2 build: The sys directory
testing failed with the following:
...
FAIL: gsl_isinf(inf) (0 observed vs 1 expected)
FAIL: gsl_isinf(-inf) (0 observed vs -1 expected)
...
FAIL: gsl_isnan(nan) (0 observed vs 1 expected)
...
FAIL: gsl_finite(inf) (1 observed vs 0 expected)
FAIL: gsl_finite(nan) (1 observed vs 0 expected)
...
It appears that the following lines in sys/infnan.c
int status = (x != x);
double y = x - x;
are not serving their intended purposes?
