There's a restriction on the second argument to scaleb in the spec,
namely that scaleb should be in the range -2*(Emax + precision) to
2*(Emax + precision) inclusive.
This restriction seems entirely arbitrary and unnecessary to me. My
guess is that it's there to ease implementation in low-level languages,
but it makes little sense for the Python implementation.
Here's a patch that removes this restriction on scaleb in the Python
implementation, and skips the corresponding tests. |
