[issue8613] Decimal module flags undetermined when a signal is trapped.

[Stefan Krah]

Stefan Krah <stefan-usenet at bytereef.org> added the comment:

I agree that the spec is not unambiguous, but consider the Overflow and
Underflow passages here:

http://speleotrove.com/decimal/daexcep.html

  ==> Overflow

    ==> In all cases, Inexact and Rounded will also be raised.


"Raise" here of course means raising the flags Inexact and Rounded,
not Python exceptions. So I would think that if the overflow trap
handler is engaged, the flags Inexact and Rounded must be raised (set
to 1) in the context.
