------- Comment #4 from jvdelisle at gcc dot gnu dot org 2006-06-08 01:04 ------- Steve,
I was just about to post an RFC to the list because this PR is requesting a change of philosophy regarding compile time vs runtime behavior. Your comment about -fallow-inf-nan answers my question. I can see where some users would want the compile time error, while others may want to use, for example, exp(1000) to give an infinity. I think the patch will be straight forward including updating the appropriate texi. The -fallow-inf-nan can be applied to range_check in simplify.c and that will cover most if not all relevant intrinsics. The default behavior will be to do as is now and give the compile error. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19310
