Bug #80867 bccomp warning for INF
Submitted: 2021-03-15 09:37 UTC Modified: 2021-03-15 10:55 UTC

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: https://php.net/function.bccomp
---

This code: var_dump(bccomp(-INF, 1.0, 2)); produces error

PHP Warning:  bccomp(): bcmath function argument is not well-formed

But according to docs (https://www.php.net/manual/en/math.constants.php) INF is float, so I think, that this Warning is wrong.

Test script:
---------------
var_dump(bccomp(-INF, 1.0, 2));

Expected result:
----------------
No warning

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning:  bccomp(): bcmath function argument is not well-formed

bcmath does *not* work with floating-pointing point numbers. It works with fixed-point numbers represented as strings. It does not have a concept of "INF".
