Bug #: 55700 Summary: i386: incorrect divide-by-zero exception generated Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.7.2 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: soren.sandm...@gmail.com Created attachment 28972 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=28972 The reproducer program The attached program generates a divide-by-zero on i686 when compiled with -O2. The divide-by-zero comes from this fragment: if (t == 0.0f) b = sa * da; else b = sa * sa * d / (t); which as far as I know should be a legitimate way to ensure division by zero doesn't happen. In particular, the t value generated is a negative zero, which should compare equal to 0.0f unless I'm misunderstanding something. I have reproduced the bug with 4.7.0 and 4.7.2 running in 32 bit mode, and with 4.7.2 with -m32 on x86-64. On x86-64: localhost:~% gcc -m32 -W -Wextra -Wall -g -O2 gccfloat.c -lm localhost:~% ./a.out Floating exception localhost:~% gcc -v Using built-in specs.
