.SH NAME
SLAISNAN - i not for general use
.SH SYNOPSIS
.TP 17
LOGICAL FUNCTION
SLAISNAN(SIN1,SIN2)
.TP 17
.ti +4
REAL
SIN1,SIN2
.SH PURPOSE
This routine is not for general use.  It exists solely to avoid
over-optimization in SISNAN.
.br

SLAISNAN checks for NaNs by comparing its two arguments for
inequality.  NaN is the only floating-point value where NaN != NaN
returns .TRUE.  To check for NaNs, pass the same variable as both
arguments.
.br

Strictly speaking, Fortran does not allow aliasing of function
arguments. So a compiler must assume that the two arguments are
not the same variable, and the test will not be optimized away.
Interprocedural or whole-program optimization may delete this
test.  The ISNAN functions will be replaced by the correct
Fortran 03 intrinsic once the intrinsic is widely available.

.SH ARGUMENTS
.TP 9
SIN1     (input) REAL
SIN2     (input) REAL
Two numbers to compare for inequality.
