Bug ID: 64442 Summary: -O1 modify output of a simple computation with rounding Product: gcc Version: 4.9.2 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: colin.pitrat+gcc at gmail dot com When building the following program with -O1, it outputs 85 whereas without -O1 it outputs 84: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdint.h> int main() { double max = 8.03; double a = 6.01; double b = 5; double c = (double)0xFF / (max - b); int16_t value = (a - b) * c; printf("Result = %d\n", value); return 0; } The compilation lines I use are really minimal: - gcc main.c vs - gcc -O1 main.c I tried to find which optimization flag was producing this issue but couldn't find any ! - I don't have the issue when I don't use -O1 but provide explicitely all (or any of) -O1 optimization flags (obtained with gcc -Q -O1 --help=optimizers | grep "\-f" | grep enabled | awk '{ print $1 }' | xargs) - Among all optimizer flags, I have the same issue only when providing either -fsingle-precision-constant, -ffloat-store or -fshort-double but those flags are supposed to be deactivated in -O1 Note that I didn't test -fpack-struct because it didn't build Regards, Colin
