Math.Pow behaviour difference (.Net Framework/.Net Core) #69632

Open andreasmuellergin opened 2 years ago

andreasmuellergin commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug

While Migrating from .Net Framework to .Net Core i noticed the following difference during program execution:

In .Net Framework Math.Pow(1,double.NaN) results in double.NaN, whereas

In .Net Core Math.Pow(1,double.NaN) results in 1.0

According to the documentation .Net Framework behaviour is the correct one.

To Reproduce

Open and run the Test classes from here

The documentation here is incorrect and .NET Framework's behavior is not IEEE 754 compliant.

The IEEE 754 spec defines a series of special-cases for pow, including:

IEEE 754 also defines a pown(x, n) which operates only on integral n and a powr(x, y) which operates only over positive x. The latter would have powr(x, qNaN) return qNaN but since Math.Pow allows both positive and negative x these are different functions.

We should update the documentation to ensure that the correct behavior is covered for .NET Core 2.1 and later (some specific fixes may have gone in around 3.1 instead and may need checking when exactly the change occurred).
