Package: cacao
Version: 0.94-1
Severity: normal

With the following program:

public class test {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        test t = new test();
        t.doTest();
    }

    volatile double x, y, z, d;

    public void doTest() {
        x = 9007199254740994.0; /* 2^53 + 2 */
        y = 1.0 - 1/65536.0;
        z = x + y;
        d = z - x;
        System.out.println("z = " + z);
        System.out.println("d = " + d);
    }
}

I get on an x86 machine:

z = 9.007199254740996E15
d = 2.0

According to the Java specifications, computations must correspond
to the IEEE-754 double precision, and the result is incorrect.

Package cacao 0.93-4 did not have this problem:

z = 9.007199254740994E15
d = 0.0
