What is the meaning of -1.#IND00 and -1.#QNAN0?

Right about Rome.
You would obtain such results by trying, let's say, sqrt(-1).
NAN means Not A Number.
Same result will be obtained when doing 10/0, for instance.
These strings are just cookies to be seen in the standard err; probably the best way to check for a faulty outcome of such an operation would be to check the result against the min/max double values definded in <limits.h>. Of course, if your program is still running after such a disaster!
But hey... the BEST thing is Not to get there in the first place!

Thanks!
I do like to know where you got that information. Is there a documentation for this? I searched MSDn and I have not found an entry like this.
Where can I get documentation for this? Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings, they did it by
killing all those who opposed them.

Well, I found related articles by looking for IND00. The most interesting is called
"FIX: Calling a Function Returning double May Not Pop FPU Stack",
which was just what was happening to my code (I was still in the debug version - /Od).
