5037,"test_output fails on trivial ""inf"" and ""nan"" formatting differences",Jim Bell <jim@…>,Steven Watanabe,"test_output fails on trivial, platform-specific output formatting differences. In the output below you see different forms of expected results: ""1.#INF"", ""-1.#INF"", ""-nan"", etc.

Since (I think) C++ doesn't define these specifically, perhaps a regex should be used to capture all variants.

Other platform failures are similiar.
