how do I make a portable isnan/isinf function

Question

I\'ve been using isinf, isnan functions on Linux platforms which worked perfectly. But this didn\'t work on OS-X, so I decided to use std::is

Answer 1

Just use that super simple IEEE 754-1985-compliant code:

static inline bool  ISINFINITE( float a )           { return (((U32&) a) & 0x7FFFFFFFU) == 0x7F800000U; }
static inline bool  ISINFINITEPOSITIVE( float a )   { return (((U32&) a) & 0xFFFFFFFFU) == 0x7F800000U; }
static inline bool  ISINFINITENEGATIVE( float a )   { return (((U32&) a) & 0xFFFFFFFFU) == 0xFF800000U; }
static inline bool  ISNAN( float a )                { return !ISINFINITE( a ) && (((U32&) a) & 0x7F800000U) == 0x7F800000U; }
static inline bool  ISVALID( float a )              { return (((U32&) a) & 0x7F800000U) != 0x7F800000U; }
