[Help-smalltalk] BUG in sysdep.h (Smalltalk)

[Volker Hilsenstein]

Hello,

I was looking for a way to implement isFinite() and isNaN()
for use in VC++. While searching the web I found the
isFinite() macro that is used in the C-Source for GNU Smalltalk.

libgst/sysdep.h:


/* These nice tests are simple, guaranteed and independent of byte order.
*/
#define isFinite(dbl)           (((dbl) == (dbl)) && ((dbl) != ((dbl) * 
1.5 + 1.0)))



One of my collueges immediately asked:

"So is -2.0 infinite" ?

I bet you will figure out an easy fix :-)

Cheers,

Volker
