[PATCH] Modify the min/max mappers (1/4)


From: Edward Jason Riedy
Subject: [PATCH] Modify the min/max mappers (1/4)
Date: Sun, 03 Sep 2000 21:23:38 -0700

This is a re-do of the patch I sent previously, plus the modifications
to the min and max interpreter routines.  It's the first of four:

  1. Just modify the mappers.
  2. Factor matrix reduction operations and add ignore_nan opt. arg.
  3. Make the interpreter aware of the "ignore-nan" and "prefer-nan"
     options.
  4. Add a few tests.

The intent is to allow NaNs to be ignored when taking a min or max
reduction.  So min(NaN, 0) == min(NaN, 0, 'ignore-nan') == 0 by 
default, while isnan(min([NaN, 0], 'prefer-nan')) is true.  This
isn't fully exposed through Octave until the third patch, so these
don't make too much sense separately, but they're easier to read.

This patch is straight-forward.

BTW, the new BLAS standard officially has no position on the
behavior of NaNs w.r.t. min and max pseudo-operators.  Blah.
So the future idamax (can't recall the new names) are undefined
in the face of NaNs.  sigh...

liboctave/ChangeLog
        * lo-mappers.h: Add xmin_nan, xmax_nan declarations.
        * lo-mappers.cc (xmin_nan): Added double and Complex as copy of
        old xmin.
        (xmax_nan): Ditto.
        (xmin): Replaced xisnan(x) with xisnan(y) to prefer returning 
        numbers rather than NaNs.
        (xmax): Ditto.
