--- Comment #27 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-12-02 16:02:45 UTC --- (In reply to comment #26) > The trivial example is (x + 2**52) - 2**52 which rounds x to > an integer. Without parens we optimize away that rounding effect. Corrected example. The result I get with other compilers matches the current behaviour of GCC/gfortran: - GCC: Gives (of course independent of -fno-protect-parens): 1.3 with "-O1 -ffast-math", 1.0 without -ffast-math. - Intel ifort 12.2: -O1 has 1.0, -O2 has 1.3, -assume protect_parens does not help but -fp-model strict does (with -O2: 1.0). - PGI pgf95 11.5-0: 1.0 with up to -O4. - Crayftn 7.1.4.111: 1.0 for -O0, 1.3 for -O1. Option "-O fp0" gives 1.0 while already "-O fp1" gives 1.3. - PathScale pathf95 3.2.99: 1.0 for up to -O3, -Ofast prints 1.3. As with GCC, -OPT:fast_math={on,off} toggles between 1.0 and 1.3 - NAG f95: 1.0 for up to -O4, 1.3 with -Ounsafe. - Sun Fortran 95 8.3: 1.0 for -O4, 1.3 for -fast. program test implicit none real(8), volatile :: y y = 1.3d0 call sub(y) print *, y ! if (y /= 1.0d0) & ! call abort contains subroutine sub(x) real*8 x, tem tem = x + 2.d0**52 x = tem - 2.d0**52 end subroutine sub end program test
