The third patch is surely wrong. We don't need to do that in the
backend's instance of get_float8_nan, so ecpglib shouldn't need it
either.

I suspect that the ultimate cause of this is either one of the header
inclusion inconsistencies you found, or something associated with
not pulling in all the stuff that postgres.h does. port/netbsd.h
is empty though, so it's not immediately clear what might be missing.

ecpglib/data.c includes "postgres_fe.h", so it should be pulling
everything that's relevant from port/*, right?

Michael, can we try to install the first two patches?
They wouldn't hurt.

Thanks in advance,

I've tried patch 1 and 2, but they do not work. The fact is that the code is not used in the backend, because strtod("NaN", endptr) works. (isnan(strtod("NaN", endptr)) is true).

I should also note that isnan((double)nan("")) is true (works).

I will also report to NetBSD that isnan((double)NAN) does not work on mips.

Rémi Zara

If I understood the rest of the thread correctly this is not needed anymore,
right?

Hmm. So what do you get from
SELECT 'nan'::numeric::float8;
on that machine? That should exercise the backend's version of
get_float8_nan().
