The isfinite() macro shall determine whether its argument has
a finite value (zero, subnormal, or normal, and not
infinite or NaN). First, an argument represented in a format wider
than its semantic type is converted to its semantic type. Then
determination is based on the type of the argument.
RETURN VALUE
The isfinite() macro shall return a non-zero value if and only
if its argument has a finite value.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
