I think the issue is we don't implement imagainy types so 1 + nan I turns into nan.

Annex G of the ISO C99 standard says that a complex value with one part being infinity is considered an infinity, even if the other part is a NaN. It's not clearly stated, but presumably if neither part of the number is an infinity, but one part is a NaN, then the number is a NaN. And presumably if a complex NaN is involved in a math operation, the result should be a complex NaN.

So, I would expect that dividing a complex NaN by a complex 0 would give me a
complex NaN.  However, when I run this program:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <complex.h>

__complex float
div (__complex float f1, __complex float f2)
{
 return f1 / f2;
}

int
main ()
{
 __complex float f;

 f = div (NAN + NAN * I, 0);
 printf ("%g+%g*i\n", creal (f), cimag (f));
 f = div (1.0 + NAN * I, 0);
 printf ("%g+%g*i\n", creal (f), cimag (f));
 f = div (NAN + 1.0 * I, 0);
 printf ("%g+%g*i\n", creal (f), cimag (f));
}

with current mainline, it prints

nan+nan*i
nan+nan*i
nan+inf*i

That last answer seems incorrect according to the rules of Annex G. It is an
infinity when it should be a NaN.
