Did you have any idea how to handle it? > However, following code does the same (at least for -ffast-math): > movl %edi, %eax > ret I don't think -ffast-math is relevant here, on x86 the int->double conversion is exact hence the reverse has to be as well. (In reply to comment #1) > Confirmed, I doubt this shows up that much anyways. Just posting to mention that it does show up...
