tango.text.convert.Float.format fails on negative infinity/zero/nan

Reported by: Deewiant Assigned to: kris
Priority: normal Milestone: 0.99.2 RC5
Component: Core Functionality Version: trunk
Keywords: Cc:

Description

tango.text.convert.Float.format doesn't check for negative infinity, causing pow10 to throw an "exponent too large" exception. Simple example: 

import tango.io.Stdout;
void main() {
  alias float F; // ditto double, real...
  Stdout(-F.infinity).newline;
}

It's simple to fix: after the "x !<>= x" and "x is x.infinity" checks, add one for "x is -x.infinity". Presumably it'd return "-inf".

Actually it should be using math.IEEE.signbit() for doing the sign, in every case. That way it will also works for a signed zero and NaN. The issue I'm wrestling with is, what to do about NaN payloads? I'm creating another ticket for that.

  • summary changed from tango.text.convert.Float.format fails on negative infinity to tango.text.convert.Float.format fails on negative infinity/zero/nan.

Attaching a patch which solves the sign issues: it now works for both signed and unsigned zeroes, NaNs?, infinities, and regular values.
