That is correct. float a * float b is supposed to e.g. result in Inf
if the product overflows float (but would still fit into double).
I bet
double fsmuld (float a, float b)
{
return (double) a * b;
}
instead will match your pattern, then the operands are first extended
into double and then multiplied into a double product.
