nobu 38656e24be math.c: check domain of base argument
* math.c (math_log): check domain of base argument too.  raises
  Math::DomainError instead of returning NaN if the base is less
  than 0, and returns NaN instead of -infinity if both of two
  arguments are 0.  [ruby-core:62309] [Bug #9797]

= NEWS for Ruby 2.2.0
This document is a list of user visible feature changes made between
releases except for bug fixes.
Note that each entry is kept so brief that no reason behind or
reference information is supplied with. For a full list of changes
with all sufficient information, see the ChangeLog file.
== Changes since the 2.1.0 release
=== Language changes
=== Core classes updates (outstanding ones only)
* Enumerable
* Extended methods:
* min, min_by, max and max_by supports optional argument to return
multiple elements.
* File
* new class File::Statfs to hold filesystem information. (experimental)
* IO
* New methods
* IO#statfs returns filesystem information as File::Statfs. (experimental)
* Symbol
* New methods
* Symbol.find(str) returns whether given string is defined as symbol or not.
* Improvements
* Most symbols which are returned by String#to_sym and
String#intern are GC-able.
* Matrix
* New methods:
* Matrix#first_minor(row, column) returns the submatrix obtained
by deleting the specified row and column.
* Matrix#cofactor(row, column) returns the (row, column) cofactor
which is obtained by multiplying the first minor by (-1)**(row + column).
=== Core classes compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)
* IO
* incompatible changes:
* When flushing file IO, you cannot assume that the metadata of the file
is updated immediately. On some platforms (especially Windows), it is
delayed until the filesystem load is decreased.
* Math
* incompatible changes:
* Math.log now raises Math::DomainError instead of returning NaN if the
base is less than 0, and returns NaN instead of -infinity if both of
two arguments are 0.
* Proc
* incompatible changes:
* ArgumentError is no longer raised when lambda Proc is passed as a
block, and the number of yielded arguments does not match the formal
arguments of the lambda, if just an array is yielded and its length
matches.
=== Stdlib updates (outstanding ones only)
* Find, Pathname
* Extended methods:
* find method accepts "ignore_error" keyword argument.
=== Stdlib compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)
=== Built-in global variables compatibility issues
=== C API updates
* Deprecated APIs removed. [Feature #9502]

rb_big2ulong_pack -> rb_integer_pack
rb_gc_set_params : internal function. no replacement.
* struct RBignum is hidden. [Feature #6083]
Use rb_integer_pack and rb_integer_unpack instead.
* rb_big_new and rb_big_resize takes a size_t instead of long.
* rb_num2long returns a long instead of SIGNED_VALUE.
* rb_num2ulong returns an unsigned long instead of VALUE.
* st hash table uses power-of-two sizes for speed [Feature #9425].
Lookups are 10-25% faster if using appropriate hash functions.
However, weaknesses in hash distribution can no longer be masked
by prime number-sized tables, so extensions may need to tweak
hash functions to ensure good distribution.
* rb_sym2str() added. This is almost same as `rb_id2str(SYM2ID(sym))`
but not pinning a dynamic symbol.
* struct RSymbol added. This represents a dynamic symbol as object in
Ruby's heaps.
* rb_str_cat_cstr() added. This is same as `rb_str_cat2()`.
* `rb_str_substr()` and `rb_str_subseq()` now share middle of a string,
but not only the end of a string. Therefore, result strings may not
be NUL-terminated, `StringValueCStr()` is needed calling to obtain a
NUL-terminated C string.
