This patch makes the geometric operators and functions use the exported function of the float4/float8 datatypes. The main reason of doing so is to check for underflow and overflow, and to handle NaNs consciously. The float datatypes consider NaNs values to be equal and greater than all non-NaN values. This change considers NaNs equal only for equality operators. The placement operators, contains, overlaps, left/right of etc. continue to return false when NaNs are involved. We don't need to worry about them being considered greater than any-NaN because there aren't any basic comparison operators like less/greater than for the geometric datatypes. The changes may be summarised as: * Check for underflow, overflow and division by zero * Consider NaN values to be equal * Return NULL when the distance is NaN for all closest point operators * Favour not-NaN over NaN where it makes sense The patch also replaces all occurrences of "double" as "float8". They are the same, but were used inconsistently in the same file.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
