Three minor things about libg++ math.h header file. In libg++ math.h header there is a test for certain systems for which inline isinf() and isnan() functions are defined. I think sgi should be included in the test. SGI math library doesn't have isnan() or isinf() (or I can't just find them). Seems that in libg++ only dtoa() uses them and it is commented as obsolete so this may not be very important. The SGI system headers define finite() to return int which conflicts with libg++ math.h double return value. I think this is just a typo in libg++ math.h. Shouldn't finite return int? It would be nice if the libg++ math.h would include the system math.h so one could use functions defined there (like sinf(), cosf() etc) without hardcoding /usr/include to #include or explicitly declaring the protos.
