When I try to call std::isnan(double) from a program compiled with g++ 3.4.4, the program gets into an endless loop.
The problem is that gcc compiles __gnu_cxx::isnan<double>(double) as a tail call to __gnu_cxx::__capture_isnan<double>(double), and it compiles __gnu_cxx::__capture_isnan<double>(double) to __gnu_cxx::isnan<double>(double). It looks to me that this wrapping hack (that is also in current glibc) only works if isnan is a macro. But on cygwin, this isn't the case. I'm using the patch below to work around this problem, but I'm not C++ language lawyer enough to know whether this fulfills all applicable namespace purity standards...
