* bpo-44339: Fix math.pow corner case to comply with IEEE 754 (GH-26606)Mark Dickinson2021-06-121-4/+2
| | | Change the behaviour of `math.pow(0.0, -math.inf)` and `math.pow(-0.0, -math.inf)` to return positive infinity instead of raising `ValueError`. This makes `math.pow` consistent with the built-in `pow` (and the `**` operator) for this particular special case, and brings the `math.pow` special-case handling into compliance with IEEE 754.

* Make floating-point exception error messages slightly more verbose: inMark Dickinson2008-04-301-8/+8
| | | | | | | | particular, the error message now allows one to distinguish between a ValueError arising from a singularity (e.g. log(0.)), which would usually produce +-infinity in non-stop mode, and a ValueError resulting from an invalid input (e.g. sqrt(-1.)), which would normally produce a NaN in non-stop mode.

The patch is collaborated work of Mark Dickinson and me. It was mostly done a few months ago. The patch fixes a lot of loose ends and edge cases related to operations with NaN, INF, very small values and complex math. The patch also adds acosh, asinh, atanh, log1p and copysign to all platforms. Finally it fixes differences between platforms like different results or exceptions for edge cases.
