Special Values for Complex Function v?Exp(z)

RE(z) i · IM(z)	∞	-X	-0	+0	+X	∞	NAN
+i · ∞	+0+i · 0	QNAN+i · QNAN INVALID	QNAN+i · QNAN INVALID	QNAN+i · QNAN INVALID	QNAN+i · QNAN INVALID	∞ +i · QNAN INVALID	QNAN+i · QNAN INVALID

+i · 0	+0 · CIS(0)		+1+i · 0	+1+i · 0		∞ +i · 0	QNAN+i · 0
-i · 0	+0 · CIS(0)		+1-i · 0	+1-i · 0		∞ -i · 0	QNAN-i · 0
-i · Y	+0 · CIS(Y)					∞ · CIS(Y)	QNAN+i · QNAN
-i · ∞	+0-i · 0	QNAN+i · QNAN INVALID	QNAN+i · QNAN INVALID	QNAN+i · QNAN INVALID	QNAN+i · QNAN INVALID	∞ +i · QNAN INVALID	QNAN+i · QNAN INVALID
+i · NAN	+0+i · 0	QNAN+i · QNAN INVALID	QNAN+i · QNAN INVALID	QNAN+i · QNAN INVALID	QNAN+i · QNAN INVALID	∞ +i · QNAN	QNAN+i · QNAN

Notes:

raises the INVALID exception when real or imaginary part of the argument is SNAN
raises the INVALID exception on argument z=-∞+i·QNAN
raises the OVERFLOW exception and sets the VM Error Status to VML_STATUS_OVERFLOW in the case of overflow, that is, when both \(RE(z)\) and \(IM(z)\) are finite non-zero numbers, but the real or imaginary part of the exact result is so large that it does not meet the target precision.
