isinf is a SUN function that supposedly provides compatilibity with
the ANSI/IEEE Std 754-1985. Two SDDS routines use this function to
detect "infinity" as part of data filtering. For now, those who don't
have this function can simply define
int isinf(double x)
{
return 1;
}
I doubt there will be any significant loss of functionality from doing
this. BURT for one doesn't make use of the routines in question.
SDDS release 1.5 will fix this annoyance. I'd appreciate hearing about how
other platforms implement the equivalent of isinf(), so I can accomodate them.
