Summary: uint64_t and int64_t behave differently when converting to float Product: gcc Version: 4.4.5 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: juan...@gmail.com Created attachment 23749 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=23749 Small code to show uint64_t / int64_t difference Attached code shows a comparison of converted int->float values: ( (float)(ui+1) != ((float)ui) + 1.f ) This comparison fails beginning at number 16777216 for ui of type uint64_t, but it doesn't fail there for ui of type int64_t. Tested in gcc version 4.4.5 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.4-14ubuntu5), Ubuntu 10.10 32 bits, atom processor. Compiled with no parameters: gcc test.c && ./a.out Tested also in mingw 4.4.5, same problem. Tested in MSVC (vs2010) too, and it doesn't fail early for uint64_t, like gcc does.
