#1278: Handle inf and nan in parameter file parser
Reporter: Erik Schnetter Status: new Milestone: Version: Type: bug Priority: minor Component: Cactus
Comment (by Roland Haas):
Not sure if that test ever actually tested for NaNs. At least `git log -G [Nn][Aa][Nn]' does not find anything. There is a test in NaNChecker that had to use some extra code to produce NaNs for it to find in git hash [837d426](https://bitbucket.org/cactuscode/cactusutils/commits/837d4260c260870565b8054...) "NaNChecker: use internally generated NaNs in test case" of [cactusutils](https://bitbucket.org/cactuscode/cactusutils) .
Should be enough to have a regex looking for `nan` and `[+-]inf` where the current regex expects the numeric part I suspect and (possibly) some extra code in the C++ code to convert those to NaN and inf, if that is not automatically done by the routine used to convert real number strings to double values.
