Subject: [musl] sqrt does not emit errno=EDOM
Date: Thu, 03 Jul 2025 09:44:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <p9u01pqx90s3.fsf@araignee.loria.fr> (raw)
Hi,
it seems musl does not set errno=EDOM for sqrt(x) when x is negative.
Here on cfarm27 (Alpine Linux):
$ cat /tmp/e.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <errno.h>
int
main()
{
errno = 0;
float x = -1.0f;
float y = sqrtf (x);
printf ("y=%a errno=%d\n", y, errno);
}
$ gcc /tmp/e.c -lm
$ ./a.out
y=-nan errno=0
Is this a known issue?
Best regards,
Paul
