Fixes #40733.
The cause of the linked issue is that
crosses_log_branch_cut() == False
does not imply it's safe to computeargument()
, since a line crossing zero does not cross the log branch cut, yet its argument is indeterminate.Whether this is the correct definition of the log branch cut is debatable (zero should be included in the branch cut too), but anyway there's another subtle bug in the other branch (just because
val
crosses the branch cut and we knowx
is nonzero (because of theif not x:
check at the very start) doesn't meanx
is in fact negative). I just rewrote the logic entirely.📝 Checklist
