Subject: [PATCH] math: Fix asin and acos invalid exception with old gcc
Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2022 13:41:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221014124127.2567889-1-szabolcs.nagy@arm.com> (raw)

This works around a gcc issue where it const folded inf/inf into nan,
preventing the invalid exception to be signalled.

(x-x)/(x-x) is more robust against optimizations and works for all
out of bounds values including x==nan.

The gcc issue https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=95115
should be fixed on release branches starting from gcc-10, but it is
better to change the code in case glibc is built with older gcc.
