This is not a bug as signbit just have to return a non zero value if it has the
value passed has its sign
bit set.
So defining it this way:
inline int mysignbit(float x) {
union { float f; unsigned int i; } u;
u.f = x;
return u.i&0x80000000UL;
}
Is also legal.
The reason for the different is optimizing for size vs optimizing for speed.
The definition you gave is
faster but larger.
