Package: manpages-dev
Version: 3.27-1
Severity: wishlist
The isgreater(3) man page says:
The normal relation operations (like <, "less than") will fail if one
of the operands is NaN. This will cause an exception. To avoid this,
C99 defines these macros. The macros are guaranteed to evaluate their
operands only once. The operands can be of any real floating-point
type.
It should probably be emphasised that the operands must not be of
integer types.
FYI, the current C1x committee draft N1547 has the following footnote
added:
242) If any argument is of integer type, or any other type that is not
a real floating type, the behavior is undefined.
BTW, "argument" may be a better word than "operand" here, because
"operand" suggests that the usual arithmetic conversions will be done,
but this isn't the case here.
