Bug#500059: gfortran-4.3-doc: difference between +0.0 and -0.0 in function SIGN



Package: gfortran-4.3-doc
Version: 4.3.0.nf1-1
Severity: normal


According to the html manual, the intrinsic function SIGN(A,B) gives 
ABS(A) if B\ge 0.

In gfortran-4.3 there is a difference between +0.0 and -0.0. This should 
be mentioned in the documentation.

      program t
      a=0.0
      print *, sign(1.0,a)
      print *, sign(1.0,-a)
      end
