Returns whether the PetscReal input is a Not-a-Number (NaN) value.

Synopsis#

#if defined(PETSC_USE_REAL___FLOAT128)
PetscBool PetscIsNanReal(PetscReal a)

Developer Notes#

Uses the C99 standard isnan() on systems where it exists.

Otherwise uses (a != a), note that some optimizing compilers compile out this form, thus removing the check.
