Subject: Make floating-point exception error messages slightly more verbose: in
X-Git-Tag: v3.0a5~48
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a0de26c3427b63efcd0a678c5d686b4df9f105e4;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

Make floating-point exception error messages slightly more verbose: in
particular, the error message now allows one to distinguish between a
ValueError arising from a singularity (e.g. log(0.)), which would
usually produce +-infinity in non-stop mode, and a ValueError resulting
from an invalid input (e.g. sqrt(-1.)), which would normally produce a
NaN in non-stop mode.
