isinf()
QNX SDP8.0C Library ReferenceAPIDeveloper
Test for infinity
Synopsis:
#include <math.h>
#define isinf ( x ) ...
Arguments:
- x
 - The number that you want to test.
 
Library:
- libm
 - The general-purpose math library.
 - libm-sve
 - A library that optimizes the code for ARMv8.2 chips that have Scalable Vector Extension hardware.
 
Your system requirements will determine how you should work with these libraries:
- If you want only selected processes to run with the SVE version, you can include both libraries in your OS image and use the -l m or -l m-sve option to qcc to link explicitly against the appropriate one.
 - If you want all processes to use the SVE version, include libm-sve.so in your OS image and set up a symbolic link from libm.so to libm-sve.so. Use the -l m option to qcc to link against the library.
 
Note: 
Compile your program with the -fno-builtin option to prevent the compiler from using a
  built-in version of the function.
Description:
The isinf() macro tests to see if a number is infinite.
Returns:
- Nonzero
 - The value of x is infinity.
 - 0
 - The value of x isn't infinity.
 
Examples:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv) 
{
    double a, b, c, d;
    a = 2;
    b = -0.5;
    c = NAN;
    d = 1.0/0.0;
    printf("%f is %s \n", a,
           (isinf(a)) ? "infinite" : "not infinite");
    printf("%f is %s \n", b,
           (isinf(b)) ? "infinite" : "not infinite");
    printf("%f is %s \n", c,
           (isinf(c)) ? "infinite" : "not infinite");
    printf("%f is %s \n", d,
           (isinf(d)) ? "infinite" : "not infinite");
    return(0);
}
produces the output:
2.000000 is not infinite
-0.500000 is not infinite
nan is not infinite
inf is infinite
