VML Sinh incorrect results

[woodbird]

#include <iostream>
#include <mkl.h>

int main()
{
    double a[3];
    double y[3];

    a[0] = 669.77512986632064;
    a[1] = a[0] - 1;
    a[2] = a[0] + 1;

    vdSinh(3, a, y);

    std::cout << y[0] << std::endl;
    std::cout << y[1] << std::endl;
    std::cout << y[2] << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

Please see the attached code. a[0] has a relatively larger value, a[1] and a[2] differs from a[0] by 1, When passing these values into vdSinh, I got correct values for y[1] and y[2], and yet got NaN for y[0].

First of all, the input value is not too large, in fact a[2] is bigger than a[0]. And secondly, in the worst case a finite input should produce Inf when it is too big instead of NaN.

The platform tested is OS X 11, GCC 6.2, Intel ICPC 17, Apple Clang 7.3, are all used to test the above example. MKL version is 2017.

(I can't edit the post, it says access denied)

A few additional information, the CPU is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4960HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz

To reproduce the error, 

icpc -o test test.cpp -lmkl_rt; ./test

Additional quirks:

      Windows 10-64bit, Intel C 17.0 for 64-bit:

             -1.#QNAN for first value

     Windows 10-64bit, Intel C 17.0 for 32-bit

             Compiled with /Qmkl: Pop-up saying

                  The procedure entry point mkl_serv_is_sse4_2_enabled could not be

                   located in the dynamic link library xsinh.exe.

              Compiled and linked with with mkl_rt.lib: 3.78977e+290 for first value.

It seems a range of values around 669 is problematic, for example, 669.77538698120043, and a few others that I tried. I cannot determine the exact range yet.

Thank you very much for your report. I confirm the correctness issue with the library. It will be fixed in a future release. We will let you know as soon as we can.

here is the number of internal issue (DPD200587997) for your the reference only.

mecej, wrt to message you see (" The procedure entry point mkl_serv_is_sse4_2_enabled could not be   located in the dynamic link library xsinh.exe. ") on your side.

I don't have access to win10 right now, but checking the problem on win8.1 64 bit OS, I don't see the problem when use 32bit compiler v.2017. Please see below the logs:

Could you add into your code  mkl_get_version(&Version); and give us output?
