Good catch. Yes, signbit is allowed to return any non-zero value when the argument is negative, so your patch looks correct. However, | + ASSERT (!!signbit (result) == !!signbit (-(double)0.0)); /* IRIX 6.5 */ Any reason you added the cast to double here? - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
