The float4 and float8 btree_gist opclasses compared keys with raw C operators (==, <, >). IEEE 754 makes every comparison involving NaN false, so GiST disagreed with the regular float comparison operators and with the btree opclass, which uses float[4|8]_cmp_internal() (so that all NaNs are equal and NaN sorts after every non-NaN value). In addition, the penalty and distance functions were not careful about NaNs, and the penalty functions could also misbehave for IEEE infinities. Wrong answers from the penalty functions would probably do no more than make the index non-optimal, but the distance mistakes were visible from SQL. To fix, make the comparison functions rely on the same NaN-aware comparison functions the core code uses, and rewrite the penalty and distance functions to follow the rules that NaNs are equal but maximally far away from non-NaNs. The penalty_num() code was formerly shared between integral and float cases, but I chose to make two copies so that the integral cases are not saddled with the extra logic for NaNs and infinities/overflows. I also rewrote it as static inline functions instead of an unreadable and uncommented macro. The float penalty functions were previously unreached by the regression tests, so add new test cases to exercise them. There's no on-disk format change, but users who have NaN entries in a btree_gist index would be well advised to reindex it.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
