--- Comment #8 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The program uses xsmincdp and xsmaxcdp instructions and it feels as if qemu implements the latter exactly the same as the former. So, I guess simpler testcase would be compile with -O2 -mcpu=power9 -ffast-math __attribute__((noipa)) float mymin (float x, float y) { return __builtin_fminf (x, y); } __attribute__((noipa)) float mymax (float x, float y) { return __builtin_fmaxf (x, y); } int main () { if (mymin (1.0f, 2.0f) != 1.0f) __builtin_abort (); if (mymax (1.0f, 2.0f) != 2.0f) __builtin_abort (); } and see if it aborts under qemu or not.
