Hi @jddarcy ,thanks for looking at this PR and thanks for the notes on the floating point negation! Yeah, this really makes sense to me. Kindly note that this patch didn't touch the negation of the floating point values. For Vector API, the vector floating point negation has been intrinsified to `NegVF/D` node by compiler that we directly generate the negation instructions for them. Thanks! ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/7782
