[Ecls-list] log and overflow

[Gabriel Dos Reis]

Hi,

The log function in the form

  (let ((a (expt 234 108))) 
    (and (< a most-positive-double-float) 
         (log a 10)))

signals a floating-point-overflow -- although the answer is less than 256.
GCL and SBCL evaluates the form with no fuss.  This is with ECL-8.12.0
-- I cannot build ECL CVS.  I'm not sure the hyperspec specifies
exceptional situations for log. 

The above was extracted from failing testcases on ECL-based OpenAxiom.
