Bug ID: 102930 Summary: equal values appear to be different due to missing correct rounding in libc Product: gcc Version: 12.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: middle-end Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: vincent-gcc at vinc17 dot net Target Milestone: --- Due to missing correct rounding in libc, expressions like sin(x) may give different values at compile time and at run time. With GCC optimization, this makes equal values appear to be different (e.g. an integer variable having two different values at the same time). Here's a testcase, inspired by PR85957 Comment 7 (which was about the x87 extended precision). #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> #define D1 0x1.005023d32fee5p+1 #define D2 0x0.2ef652eba3771p-1 __attribute__((noinline,noclone)) static double opaque(void) { return D1; } __attribute__((noinline,noclone)) static void t1(void) { double a = D1, b = opaque(); if (a != b) printf("uneq"); double sa = sin(a), sb = sin(b); printf("t1: %a %s %a\n", sa, sa == sb ? "==" : "!=", sb); } __attribute__((noinline,noclone)) static void t2(void) { double a = D1, b = opaque(); if (a != b) printf("uneq"); int ia = sin(a) + D2, ib = sin(b) + D2; printf("t2: %d %s %d\n", ia, ia == ib ? "==" : "!=", ib); } __attribute__((noinline,noclone)) static void t3(void) { double a = D1, b = opaque(); if (a != b) printf("uneq"); int ia = sin(a) + D2, ib = sin(b) + D2; printf("t3: ib = %d\n", ib); if (ia == ib) printf("t3: ib = %d\n", ib); } int main(void) { t1(); t2(); t3(); return 0; } Compile with the following options: -O2 -lm -fdisable-tree-dom3 This gives: t1: 0x1.d109ad145c88fp-1 == 0x1.d109ad145c88ep-1 t2: 1 == 0 t3: ib = 0 t3: ib = 1 Tested GCC versions under Debian/unstable: * gcc-8 (Debian 8.4.0-7) 8.4.0 * gcc-9 (Debian 9.4.0-3) 9.4.0 * gcc-10 (Debian 10.3.0-11) 10.3.0 * gcc-11 (Debian 11.2.0-10) 11.2.0 * gcc (Debian 20210918-1) 12.0.0 20210918 (experimental) [master r12-3644-g7afcb534239] If -fdisable-tree-dom3 is not provided, t1 still fails with GCC 8 to 11.
