[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45507] acos returns different results on big input values

[Lachlan Andrew]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #45507 (project octave):

Marco, you're right that the limit is imprecise.  It isn't intended to be the
precise value for which the "1+" becomes irrelevant.  It was just intended to
be something in the wide range such that it is harmless to skip the sqrts for
a double and it will avoid overflow for a float.

I'll use 2^27 in the next version of the patch -- but I'll wait to see if the
eventual commiter has any comments before rolling the next version.
