Hello,
Please continue this thread to the fpc-other mailing list. This list
is for discussions about *programming* in Pascal and FPC, and moreover
language advocacy threads have a tendency to drown everything else by
the sheer volume of posts they elicit.
Thanks,

Wouldnt a NaN (Not a number) be more "matematically correct" result (I saw
that on an old book about i387)
Matematically division by zero is an "mathematical impossibility", so NaN
would be more logical
Is there a way to deal with NaN's and other i387 (and similars) conventions
directly in Pascal
Is there a way to deal with NaN's and other i387 (and similars)
conventions directly in Pascal ?
Yes, if not yet possible (I didn't have a closer look) I would like to
have that too. But I think it's heavily depending on the processor...

AFAIK if a parser can be made for an extension, so is the grammar.
