Do IPP functions handle special values like quiet NaN/inf strictly following the IEEE 754 way?
How IPP functions handle data that contain special values?

I mean, such as:
if x is a quiet NaN value, then do functions like ippsAddC_32f(x, yptr, length_of_y) returns strictly all NaNs despite whatever values stored in yptr?
Also how NaN values will be ranked when sorting some array that contain NaNs?

An IPP function could fail with Access Violation exception. It could also process data without Access Violation exception in a future release of IPP and please take a look at a similar thread:

Thanks, so the IPP functions are not stable with special values... thats too bad.

...It could also process data without Access Violation exception in a future release... and please take it into account. I wonder if somebody from IPP team could provide an update regarding the problem.

IPP libraries strictly follow IEEE 754 for floating point numbers. That means a bug in realization if you find different/undesirable behavior for any IPP function - so be so kind - submit a bug to QuAD or post a message here, please. Regarding ippiRotate - it has been already fixed - use 7.1. version, please. 2 Sergey Kostrov: I don't know any other IPP function that fails with AV because of special FP values in parameters - if you know - be so kind, share this info here, please.
PS I think you know an anecdote about Japanese gasoline-powered saw...
