What is the result of this supposed to be? Is it "-0.0"?
Here's why I'm asking. log1p_downward(-1) is failing on sparc for
"long double" giving INF instead of -INF.
I wrote a simple test program and, with FE_DOWNWARD, the sequence is:
-1 + 1 == -0.0L
-1L / -0.0L == INF
Any insight into what should be happening here would be appreciated.
