[BUG] Math.asinh failing under OS X

Reported by zimbatm | February 8th, 2008 @ 04:18 AM | in 1.0 preview

I was wondering why the Math.asinh specs where masked because they work well under Linux. Then I tested on OS X.

rubinius Linux:

irb(main):001:0> Math.asinh(1)
=> 0.881373587019543

rubinius OS X:

irb(main):001:0> Math.asinh(1)
=> NaN

This is very mysterious to me. Any pointers welcome.

    asinh works well under OS X :

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <math.h>
    
    int main() {
      printf("%f\n", asinh(1));
    }
    
    # gcc test.c
    # ./a.out
    0.881374

    I also checked the ffi signature in kernel/platform/math.rb. I don't see any problem here.

    For the record :

    <dbussink> zimbatm: i see you've been looking at Math#asinh
    <dbussink> zimbatm: i've wasted some time on that too, it's a really weird problem
    <dbussink> zimbatm: there are some problems though with ffi which evan is investigating, it could be cause of this problem too
    

    indeed, all other math operations work and are defined the same way. I wish I knew how to delve into the ffi code...

    I couldn't reproduce the behavior on OS X 10.5.1 using HEAD:

    irb(main):005:0> Math.asinh(1)

    => 0.881373587019543

    Removed excludes in 55a52181... Evan fixed the FFI over the weekend
