Hello Felix,

what about using

  #include <math.h>
  [...]
  if (isnan(x)) ...

or maybe

  [...]
  if (fpclassify(x) == FP_NAN) ...

instead of a comparison? I would expect the compiler to inline these
calls and produce equally efficient code as for a comparison operation
and it might be a bit more portable to do it this way.

Ciao,
Thomas
