Mark Dickinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I suspect that what's happening is that errno is being set to ERANGE on a subnormal results; this is somewhat ... um ... unorthodox.
In that case, the fix would be to raise OverflowError when errno is set to ERANGE and the function result x is larger than 1, say, in absolute value. (Currently the code ignores errno=ERANGE only when x == 0.) Could someone with access to ia64 hardware test the attached patch? ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +marketdickinson Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file10644/math_64.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3118> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
