How do I detect infinite floats?

I know division by zero is valid in floating point and stores with a
special infinity value but is there a standard constant to cover
testing that or am I supposed to make my own each time?

Thanks

check std::numeric_limits<> as well. Doesn't have "is{infinity,nan,...}
but does have methods that return the values for them.

But don't forget that comparison with NaN may not have the result you
expect ;-)
