| Summary | 0005739: Printf.printf "%F" (-.nan) returns -nan | ||||||||||
| Description | When trying to generate code for OCaml (in OCaml) I expected Printf.printf "%F" to generate a float which is a valid expression in OCaml syntax: according to the documentation "%F converts a floating-point argument to Caml syntax". However, # -nan;; Error: This expression has type float but an expression was expected of type int # Printf.printf "%F\n" (-.nan);; -nan - : unit = () Maybe should the last expression return "-.nan" (or the syntax could be modified to allow -nan). | ||||||||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Printf.printf "%F\n" (-.nan);; | ||||||||||

Confirmed under 3.12.1 and 4.00. printf "%F" neg_infinity also prints "-inf" which suffers from the same problem. I think this was already discussed in 0004688. If I understand correctly the patch of "dra" in 0004688, the effect of (printf "%F" (-.nan)) on the Windows platform (mingw or MSVC) could be to return "nan" instead of the negative nan on 4.00 -- I can't test myself, though. |
