Bug ID: 106902
Summary: Program compiled with -O3 -fmfa produces different
result
Product: gcc
Version: 12.2.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: tree-optimization
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org

Sample C++ program
Compiling the attached sample program with g++ -mfma -O3 and executing it leads
to the wrong output starting with GCC version 11.1. The expected output is
approximately 0.905017, but the actual output is -415762. GCC 10.4 and lower
works as expected. Compiling with other optimization flags and -mno-fma works
as expected too.
About the program:
It starts with an array of 1s, performs a local average for each element, then
prints one result from the middle of the array. The algorithm has been reduced
to remove code that is not needed to reproduce the bug, which is why the
expected output is not exactly 1. The sample contains extra code which is not
relevant to the bug, but removing them causes the bug to be not reproducible.
The relevant parts have been commented with "FIXME". I'm not 100% certain, but
there appears to be some loss of precision which gets compounded because the
result of one loop iteration is used as an input to the next iterations. The
program output becomes more incorrect as the input array size increases.
GCC Version:
$ gcc -v
