I fixed this bug using a slightly different strategy.  When the two-input form of the log2 function fails, the exponent returned is 0.  I can use that fact to identify the input values like Inf or NaN that need special processing.

I added new BIST tests to check that this all works.  See this changeset (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/69b21b8a0e9f).

Marking as fixed and closing report.

In MATLAB,


>> nextpow2(inf)

ans =

   Inf

>> nextpow2(NaN)

ans =

   NaN

>>


In GNU Octave,


>> nextpow2(inf)
ans = 0
>> nextpow2(NaN)
ans = 0


So,here Octave neither producing valid answer nor warning.
