Bug ID: 57974 Summary: std::pow(std::complex<long double>(0),1) returns (-nan,-nan) Product: gcc Version: 4.9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: henner.sudek at gmail dot com Created attachment 30548 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=30548&action=edit the preprocessed file (*.i*) that triggers the bug The following program gives the wrong result when compiled with the options given below. Removing any of the compiler options gives the expected result (0,0). I was able to reproduce the error with gcc-4.7.3, 4.8.1 and 4.9.0. $ cat complex.cpp #include <complex> #include <iostream> int main(){ std::cerr << std::pow(std::complex<long double>(0),1) << std::endl; } $ c++ -std=c++11 -fno-math-errno -funsafe-math-optimizations complex.cpp $ ./a.out (-nan,-nan) $ /home/henner/gcc-4.9.0/bin/g++ -v Using built-in specs.
