[Emacs-diffs] master 202bd7b: Fix logb on zero, infinite, NaN args

[Paul Eggert]

branch: master
commit 202bd7bff2710b98cde4ae4b6e1f6de9818591f8
Author: Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
Commit: Paul Eggert <address@hidden>

    Fix logb on zero, infinite, NaN args
    
    Change logb to return -infinity, +infinity, and NaN respectively.
    Formerly logb returned an extreme fixnum to represent
    infinity, but this is no longer the right thing to do now that
    we have bignums and there is no extreme integer.
    * doc/lispref/numbers.texi (Float Basics), etc/NEWS: Document.
    * src/floatfns.c (Flogb): Implement this.
