The mail archive says I'm bad at attaching things.
Program source included below:
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
long double a, b;
double c, d;
float f, g;
a = (long double) -INFINITY;
c = (double) -INFINITY;
f = (float) -INFINITY;
b = sqrtl(a);
d = sqrt(c);
g = sqrtf(f);
printf("Long double: %4Lf %4Lf\n", a, b);
printf("Double: %4lf %4lf\n", c, d);
printf("Float: %4f %4f\n", f, g);
return 0;
}
