FP exception vs NaN [message #55273]

Hi Didier

Influential people think that divisions by zero or negative square roots are admissible in a good code. I do not agree.
IMHO a NaN or an Inf is a failure in code, it should be debugged and fixed. Divisions by zero or negative sqrt... are just bugs. If your code considers these situations as normal, my friend, you are screwed. I wouldn't put money in your bank Smile

To avoid problems with existing code that allows these situations, a new Bazaar package has to be opened.

Didier, I will open a first functional version in few days, but your support and that of other colleagues will be very acknowledged.

Best regards
Iñaki
