           Summary: D2 phobos std.conv.toFloat("nan") fails
           Product: D
           Version: 2.006
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: wbaxter@gmail.com


The unittest for std.conv fails on Windows.

Looks like toFloat is relying on strtof to convert the string "nan" into a float.  However, at least on Windows that doesn't seem to happen.

Fixed; the fix will go into the next minor release, when the bug will be closed. Thanks!

This still isn't fixed.
It now properly converts to nan, but it throws an exception because
parseFloating doesn't zero the length of the input string.

I sense that testing on Windows is weak currently...

Second part of the fix checked in.  Yes, windows testing is weak at best. Neither Andrei or I use it.  I have it available, just isn't part of my main stream usage.
