Explicitly cc: cfe-commits *again*…. | C11 6.3.1.5/1<http://6.3.1.5/1>: "If the value being converted is outside the range of values that can be represented, the behavior is undefined."
I think 5.2.4.2.2/5 says if infinities are representable, there are no values "outside" the floating-point range? And 6.3.1.5/1 starts out with "if the value being converted can be represented exactly in the new type, it is unchanged." I'd think that NaNs could be represented "exactly" (they can certainly be represented: 5.2.4.2.2/3) despite not having an actual numeric value. I don't think 6.3.1.5/1 means to exclude NaN/infinities, given that 6.3.1.4/1 explicitly refers to "finite value" wrt conversion to an integer type. --paulr From: cfe-commits [mailto:cfe-commits-boun...@lists.llvm.org] On Behalf Of Richard Smith via cfe-commits Sent: Monday, December 07, 2015 1:32 PM To: Joerg Sonnenberger; cfe-commits Subject: Re: r254574 - PR17381: Treat undefined behavior during expression evaluation as an unmodeled On Mon, Dec 7, 2015 at 7:25 AM, Joerg Sonnenberger via cfe-commits <cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org<mailto:cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org>> wrote: On Thu, Dec 03, 2015 at 01:36:22AM -0000, Richard Smith via cfe-commits wrote: > Author: rsmith > Date: Wed Dec 2 19:36:22 2015 > New Revision: 254574 > > URL: http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?rev=254574&view=rev > Log: > PR17381: Treat undefined behavior during expression evaluation as an unmodeled > side-effect, so that we don't allow speculative evaluation of such expressions > during code generation. > > This caused a diagnostic quality regression, so fix constant expression > diagnostics to prefer either the first "can't be constant folded" diagnostic > or > the first "not a constant expression" diagnostic depending on the kind of > evaluation we're doing.

This leads to some pretty annoying regressions as it now seems to be impossible to use NaN or infinites as constant initializers. Expressions like 0.0 / 0.0, 1.0 / 0.0 and -1.0 / 0.0 are perfectly well defined under normal IEEE rules, so they shouldn't be rejected. Well, we have a problem. The evaluation semantics of these expressions requires code to execute in some build modes (in particular, with sanitizers enabled), and thus has a side-effect. I'm inclined to relax the restriction added in this change for the specific case of global variables in C, since (as you say) there is a fair amount of code using divide-by-zero as a "portable" way of generating an inf or nan. Worse, it seems even using __builtin_nan() for example doesn't work. __builtin_nan() works fine for me, can you provide a testcase? I'm not even sure about the example given in the commit message, how exactly is that undefined behavior? C11 6.3.1.5/1<http://6.3.1.5/1>: "If the value being converted is outside the range of values that can be represented, the behavior is undefined." We also have C11 6.6/4: "Each constant expression shall evaluate to a constant that is in the range of representable values for its type."
