pgsql: Further portability tweaks for float4/float8 hash functions. - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Further portability tweaks for float4/float8 hash functions.

Attempting to make hashfloat4() look as much as possible like
hashfloat8(), I'd figured I could replace NaNs with get_float4_nan()
before widening to float8.  However, results from protosciurus
and topminnow show that on some platforms that produces a different
bit-pattern from get_float8_nan(), breaking the intent of ce773f230.
Rearrange so that we use the result of get_float8_nan() for all NaN
cases.  As before, back-patch.
