    SF bug 533198: Complex power underflow raises exception. · bab22bed
    Tim Peters yazdı
    Konrad was too kind.  Not only did it raise an exception, the specific
    exception it raised made no sense.  These are old bugs in complex_pow()
    and friends:
    
    1. Raising 0 to a negative power isn't a range error, it's a domain
       error, so changed c_pow() to set errno to EDOM in that case instead
       of ERANGE.
    
    2. Changed complex_pow() to:
    
    A. Used the Py_ADJUST_ERANGE2 macro to try to clear errno of a spurious
       ERANGE error due to underflow in the libm pow() called by c_pow().
    
    B. Produced different exceptions depending on the errno value:
       i) For errno==EDOM, raise ZeroDivisionError instead of ValueError.
          This is for consistency with the non-complex cases 0.0**-2 and
          0**-2 and 0L**-2.
       ii) For errno==ERANGE, raise OverflowError.
    
    Bugfix candidate.
