What is the result of casting float +INF, -INF, and NAN to integer in C?

Does any standard specifies what should be the output? For example this code: #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h>

Does any standard specifies what should be the output?

For example this code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  float a = INFINITY;
  float b = -INFINITY;
  float c = NAN;

  printf("float %f %f %f\n", a, b, c); 
  printf("int %d %d %d\n", (int) a, (int) b, (int) c); 
  printf("uint %u %u %u\n", (unsigned int) a, (unsigned int) b, (unsigned int) c); 
  printf("lint %ld %ld %ld\n", (long int) a, (long int) b, (long int) b); 
  printf("luint %lu %lu %lu\n", (unsigned long int) a, (unsigned long int) b, (unsigned long int) c); 

  return 0;
}

luint 0 9223372036854775808 9223372036854775808

Which is quite weird. (int)+inf < 0 !?!


As Paul said, it's undefined:

From §6.3.1.4:

6.3.1.4 Real floating and integer

When a finite value of real floating type is converted to an integer type other than _Bool, the fractional part is discarded (i.e., the value is truncated toward zero). If the value of the integral part cannot be represented by the integer type, the behavior is undefined.50)

Infinity isn't finite, and the integral part can't be represented in an integral type, so it's undefined.
