Unary negation does not affect rounding, so I fail to see how it shall matter
what type the negation is done on.
It is true that for x87 math the -(float)x sequence is slower:
g:
pushl %ebp
movl %esp, %ebp
subl $4, %esp
fldl 8(%ebp)
fstps -4(%ebp)
flds -4(%ebp)
fchs
fstps 8(%ebp)
leave
jmp f
so, confirmed as missed-optimization.
