Bug ID: 98612
Summary: _mm_comieq_sd has wrong semantics
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: libstdc++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: guillaume.piolat at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---

Behaviour with 3 compilers
_mm_comieq_sd has different NaN semantics for different people.
# The Unordered team
- GCC will return 1 for a comparison that involved NaN.
- this maps to the underlying instruction
# The Ordered team
- Intel intrinsics guide says:
RETURN ( a[63:0] == b[63:0] ) ? 1 : 0
which indicates an ordered comparison.
- ICC and clang return 0 for a NaN comparison (see image attachments)
As the x86 "intrinsics" are meant as a portable API (vs "builtins"), I would
suggest it is expected that the same result than clang and ICC is returned.
GCC has the same problem for other intrinsics that don't actually map to the
instruction semantics, such as:
sse2:
- _mm_comieq_sd
- _mm_comile_sd
- _mm_comilt_sd
- _mm_comineq_sd (instruction is an ordered comparison, but intrinsics is an
unordered comparison)
sse:
- _mm_comieq_ss
- _mm_comile_ss
- _mm_comilt_ss
- _mm_comineq_ss
I don't know for later instruction sets.
