For floating point types, the question is what MAX(a, NaN) or MIN(a,
NaN) should return (where "a" is a normal number). There are valid
usecases for returning either one, but the Fortran standard doesn't
specify which one should be chosen. Also, there is no consensus among
other tested compilers. In short, it's a mess. So lets just do
whatever is fastest, which is using MAX_EXPR/MIN_EXPR which are not
defined to do anything in particular if one of the operands is a NaN.
Regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, Ok for trunk?
OK.
Could you also document this behavior in the "Compiler Characteristics"
section, and make mention of the change in gcc-9/changes.html ?
