I think this boils down to my lack of understanding of IEEE floating
point arithmetic standards.
The following code behaves the same on every box I can find to test it
on. Although I'm surprised that the exception is INV instead of OFL, it
seems to be standard behaviour.
Ciao,

do_weird(void)
{
double x;
int i;
printf("double x = 1e19; int i = (int)x\n");
x = 1e19;
i = (int)x;
printf("%d\n", i);
}
int
main(void)
{
printf("clearing fp exception mask\n");
(void)fpsetmask(0);
do_weird();
printf("setting fp exception mask to FP_X_OFL\n");
(void)fpsetmask(FP_X_OFL);
do_weird();
printf("setting fp exception mask to FP_X_INV\n");
(void)fpsetmask(FP_X_INV);
do_weird();
return 0;
}
