[issue44698] Undefined behaviour in Objects/complexobject.c's complex_pow

[Sebastian Berg]

Sebastian Berg <sebastian at sipsolutions.net> added the comment:

Hmm, sorry, I overshot/misread :(.

The thing that the NumPy test-suite trips over is that:

    c_powi(inf+0j, 3)

seems to not raise, but:

    _Py_c_pow(inf+0j, 3.+0j)

(or nan+0.j rather then inf+0j)

does seem to raise (returning `nan+nanj` in both cases).  If this is the `inf` code path, raising an error may actually be fix and the integer code path should maybe also do it.
