+dnl IEEE 754 standardized three items:
+dnl - The formats of single-float and double-float - nowadays commonly
+dnl available as 'float' and 'double' in C and C++.
+dnl No autoconf test needed.
+dnl - The overflow and division by zero behaviour: The result are values
+dnl '±Inf' and 'NaN', rather than exceptions as it was before.
+dnl This file provides an autoconf macro for ensuring this behaviour of
+dnl floating-point operations.
+dnl - A set of conditions (overflow, underflow, inexact, etc.) which can
+dnl be configured to trigger an exception.
+dnl This cannot be done in a portable way: it depends on the compiler,
+dnl libc, kernel, and CPU. No autoconf macro is provided for this.
+
+dnl Ensure non-trapping behaviour of floating-point overflow and
+dnl floating-point division by zero.
+dnl (For integer overflow, see gcc's -ftrapv option; for integer division by
+dnl zero, see the autoconf macro in intdiv0.m4.)
