Floating point exceptions seem to have been turned off by default: gonzo 13% uname -r 5.0-CURRENT gonzo 14% cat a.c double div(double x,double y) { return x/y; } int main() { double x; x = div(1.0,0.0); printf("%f\n",x); } gonzo 15% gcc -o a a.c gonzo 16% ./a Inf This seems to produce an SIGFPE on 3.0, which I would have thought was the correct thing to do: walton 12% uname -r 3.4-STABLE walton 13% cat a.c double div(double x,double y) { return x/y; } int main() { double x; x = div(1.0,0.0); printf("%f\n",x); } walton 14% gcc -o a a.c walton 15% ./a Floating exception (core dumped) There was a discussion on one of the list about what to do for floating point excpetions recently, and I thought people decided that causing a signal by default was a right thing? I presume this was caused by the commit below?
