Bug ID: 78857
Summary: S390: Do not use load-and-test floating-point
instruction to compare against 0.0 as SNaN is
converted to QNaN.
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: stli at linux dot vnet.ibm.com
Target Milestone: ---
Target: S390
On s390, a comparison of e.g. a double value against 0.0 is done with ltdbr
(load and test long BFP) instruction. If the value is a SNaN, this instruction
converts it to QNaN. This differs to a comparison with cdbr (compare long BFP)
instruction, which keeps the SNaN.
Thus, the usage of load-and-test instruction is not allowed, if the value in
the resulting register is used afterwards.
As information:
This leads to glibc "math/test-double" / "math/test-idouble" test failures
where pow is called with x=1.0 and y=SNaN.
The pow function performs a test against zero and y is later used to determine
the return value:
...
if (y == 0)
return 1.0;
...
if (...)
return x == 1.0 && !issignaling (y) ? 1.0 : y + y;
...
