           Summary: NAN not a constant
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: MacOS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5

I have tested this on the clang build distributed with Snow Leopard, so if it
has already been fixed sorry in advance.

Using the NAN macro from math.h results in this diagnostics:

nantest.c:2:11: error: initializer element is not a compile-time constant
float x = NAN;
          ^~~
/usr/include/architecture/i386/math.h:66:25: note: instantiated from:
    #define NAN         __builtin_nanf("0x7fc00000") /* Constant ...
                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 diagnostic generated.


where nantest.c contains the following:
---------------
#include <math.h>
float x = NAN;
---------------

This works fine in GCC, but not in Clang and seem to be in violation of C99
7.12:5:

The macro
NAN is defined if and only if the implementation supports quiet NaNs for the
float type. It
expands to a _constant expression_ of type float representing a quiet NaN.
