https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214815 Bug ID: 214815 Summary: pow(3): underflow result can be -0.0 Product: Documentation Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: low Priority: P1 Component: man-pages Assignee: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: mwelinder@xxxxxxxxx Regression: No The pow(3) man pages as found here: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/pow.3.html says... "If result underflows, and is not representable, a range error occurs, and 0.0 is returned." That fails to take signs into account. pow(-1e-100,5) produces -0.0, not 0.0 Suggested wording: "... and 0.0 with the appropriate sign is returned." -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
