Abstract The current specification of floating-point overflow is unclear. Floating-point overflow occurs when finite operands are used as operands, and the result cannot be represented as a finite value. For [[ISO/IEC 60559:2020]](https://www%2eiso%2eorg/standard/80985%2ehtml) floating-point numbers, this results in infinity.
