A division by zero in a #if statement generates a floating point exception and crashes the preprocessor.

Generate an error for division by zero in a preprocessor directive

This matches GCCs behavior, so it should be correct for GLSL as well.  Is this test from an application that is expecting some other behavior?  If so, what is it expecting?  Does this work on other GLSL implementations?

This test was not from any known application.

NVIDIA, ATI, Intel, and S3 GLSL compilers also crash with a floating point exception. The Apple GLSL compiler does not crash and interprets the division by zero as true.

Out of curiosity, what does Apple do for 0/0?  It would be interesting to know the actual value generated for arbitrary x/0.  My guess is that it's either x or maximum representable integer with same sign as x.

The crash is fixed in master by the following patch series.  I'm leaving the bug open, but I'm reassigning it to version 7.10.  I want to wait on the cherry pick until we get some resolution as to what the correct behavior is.

    glcpp: Generate an error for division by zero
    
    When GCC encounters a division by zero in a preprocessor directive, it
    generates an error.  Since the GLSL spec says that the GLSL
    preprocessor behaves like the C preprocessor, we should generate that
    same error.
    
    It's worth noting that I cannot find any text in the C99 spec that
    says this should be an error.  The only text that I can find is line 5
    on page 82 (section 6.5.5 Multiplicative Opertors), which says,
    
        "The result of the / operator is the quotient from the division of
        the first operand by the second; the result of the % operator is
        the remainder. In both operations, if the value of the second
        operand is zero, the behavior is undefined."
    
    Fixes 093-divide-by-zero.c test and bugzilla #32831.
    
    NOTE: This is a candidate for the 7.9 and 7.10 branches.

The Apple GLSL compiler's preprocessor interprets 0/0 as true.
(0 / 0) - true
(1 / 0) - true
(0 / 1) - false
(1 / 1) - true
((0 / 0) > 0) - true
((1 / 0) > 0) - true
((0 / 0) < 0) - false
((1 / 0) < 0) - false
((-1 / 0) > 0) - true
((-1 / 0) < 0) - false

Fixed by ef2f4b546946a4f97af602e5f52227d552a58247 (7.9) and 50d40edb8ce24e9725a00b8eb3ce3b2d4bb16d63 (7.10).
