Comparison operations fail with floats (NaN and +/- Inf) in PyYAML3000 on WinXP (SP2)

[Peter Murphy (pkmurphy@…]

This is what happens when you run the test suite under WinXP (SP2) and Python 2.4:

C:\pyyaml\trunk>python tests/test_build.py

I can't really imagine what could cause this problem.

Do you use the latest version from SVN?

Could you post the output of

print 1e300000, -1e300000, 1e300000/1e300000

What is your CPU?

[Peter Murphy (pkmurphy@…]

I did your test. The output of:

print 1e300000, -1e300000, 1e300000/1e300000

is:

1.#INF -1.#INF -1.#IND

The last result is a little confusing. (Shouldn't it be positive?)

My CPU: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.26 GHz

I use the latest builds. (Now, there's 2 failures and 2 errors.)

I hope that helps.

Cheers, Peter

Could you test it again, please? The float handling code was significantly revamped in the last few commits.

[Peter Murphy (pkmurphy at postmaster dot co dot uk)]

Kirill: I ran the test:

OK

That's beautiful. I think you close this bug report. :-)

Cheers!

Great! Thanks, Peter.
