Mark Dickinson added the comment: Aha: the C99 standard, section 6.3.1.5, says:
When a double is demoted to float, a long double is demoted to double or float, or a value being represented in greater precision and range than required by its semantic type (see 6.3.1.8) is explicitly converted to its semantic type [...] if the value being converted is outside the range of values that can be represented, the behavior is undefined. So the current code likely has different behaviours even on different IEEE-754 platforms. ____________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue705836> ____________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
