Diagnostics

In IEEE754 mode (i.e. the -xlibmieee cc compilation option), sinh() and cosh() return ±if as appropriate on overflow and raise the overflow exception; acosh() returns a NaN and raises the invalid operation exception if its argument is less than 1; atanh() returns a NaN and raises the invalid operation exception if its argument has absolute value greater than 1; atanh(±1) returns ±if and raises the division by zero exception.
