+// This include (and the associated definition of __test_capture_signbit)
+// must be placed before any files that include <cmath> (gtest.h in this case).
+//
+// <math.h> is required to define generic macros signbit, isfinite and
+// several other such functions.
+//
+// <cmath> is required to undef declarations of these macros in the global
+// namespace and make equivalent functions available in namespace std. Our
+// stlport implementation does this only for signbit, isfinite, isinf and
+// isnan.
+//
+// NOTE: We don't write our test using std::signbit because we want to be
+// sure that we're testing the bionic version of signbit. The C++ libraries
+// are free to reimplement signbit or delegate to compiler builtins if they
+// please.
