Incorrect Result from sine function with inf input |

Using version 2.6 of GSL from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsl/gsl-2.6.tar.gz
OS is Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Hardware is a Dell workstation with a 3.60 GHz Intel i7-4790 and 32 GB
of RAM
Compiler is gcc 7.4.0 with the -w option
Description: when passing positive infinity to gsl_sf_sin_pi, the result
is 0 which doesn't make sense as the sine function oscillates
between -1 and 1
#include <gsl/gsl_sf.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <gsl/gsl_math.h>
int main (void){
double out;
out = gsl_sf_sin_pi(GSL_POSINF);
printf("%f\n", out); // prints zero
return 0;
}
Best,
