According to the Linux manpage, finite() was originally a BSD
floating-point classification function which takes a double. There were
equivalents available for float and long double with different names.
All the epicsMath.h code is trying to do is ensure that we provide a
definition of finite(), using isfinite() where it exists. I see no
reason to check GLIBC versions, we don't need it to be that efficient.
I am committing this change to the 3.14 branch, so it will appear in the
forthcoming 3.14.12.6 release:
#ifdef isfinite
# undef finite
-# define finite(x) isfinite(x)
+# define finite(x) isfinite((double)x)
#endif
