12112	cpp_dec_float: assigning double(-infinity) drops the negative	Jason Rhinelander <jason@…>	John Maddock	"Initializing (or assigning) negative infinity to a cpp_dec_float assigns positive infinity instead of negative infinity.

The problem seems to be that cpp_dec_float.hpp, in operator=(long double a), does:

{{{
   if((boost::math::isinf)(a))
      return *this = inf();
}}}

but I think that should instead be (I have not tested this):

{{{
    if((boost::math::isinf)(a)) {
       *this = inf();
       if (a < 0) negate();
       return *this;
    }
