[PD] [sqosc~]-issues

[Martin Peach]

Thanks, Charles,
For Windows, I found
int _isnan(double x) in float.h; it returns non-zero if x is NaN.
Also in float.h,
int _finite(double x) returns zero if the number is +- infinite or a 
NaN, so that would seem to cover every possibility.
and
int _fpclass(double x) returns a specific code for each type of NaN as 
well as zero and non-zero numbers.
There don't seem to be any float versions of these.
If the overhead is not too high it would make sense to use one of these 
in any dsp routine that might generate such values.
Ideally it should be on the input to [dac~] so it only needs to be 
called once per sample, but I'll try it on sqosc~ to see what happens...
