Description Pavel Suchmann 2009-05-14 08:21:29 UTC

I have observed a suspicious warning in 1.8.6.368 when evaluating NaN immediately after Infinity:

$ ruby -vwe 'Math::exp Math::exp(42); eval "0.0/0.0"'
ruby 1.8.6 (2009-03-31 patchlevel 368) [i686-linux]
(eval):1: warning: Float 0.0 out of range

Without reaching Infinity first, there is no such warning produced:

$ ruby -vwe 'eval "0.0/0.0"'
ruby 1.8.6 (2009-03-31 patchlevel 368) [i686-linux]

It seems an older patchlevel of 1.8.6 behaves differently:

$ ruby -vwe 'Math::exp Math::exp(42); eval "0.0/0.0"'
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114) [i686-linux]

The 1.9 version of ruby remains silent as well (which is imho correct behavior):

$ ruby -vwe 'Math::exp Math::exp(42); eval "0.0/0.0"'
ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30 revision 21907) [i686-linux]

Am I missing something?

This is already broken in ruby 1.8.6 pl 287:

ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [x86_64-linux]
(eval):1: warning: Float 0.0 out of range

This appears to be fixed in p299, so I'm closing this bug:

$ruby -vwe 'Math::exp Math::exp(42); eval "0.0/0.0"'
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-06-23 patchlevel 299) [x86_64-linux]
