Bug ID: 99048 Summary: __gcc_qadd produces spurious NaN Product: gcc Version: 10.2.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libgcc Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: bbarenblat at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Target: powerpc64le-linux-gnu Created attachment 50160 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=50160&action=edit minimal example __gcc_qadd, which adds two long doubles on POWER, can emit NaN for non-NaN input: $ cat ldbl.c extern int printf(const char* restrict, ...); int main() { long double a = -0x1.1e282e024debdb875f47f6c85p+1021L; printf("%Le\n", a + 0x1.fffffffffffff7ffffffffffff8p+1023L); } $ gcc -O0 -o ldbl ldbl.c $ ./ldbl nan $ gcc -O1 -o ldbl ldbl.c $ ./ldbl 1.546510e+308 Examining the assembly from the second invocation shows that GCC has optimized out the entire computation. In the first invocation, however, the compiled program calls __gcc_qadd, which yields NaN. By IEEE 754, adding two non-NaN inputs should never produce a NaN output. Output of 'gcc -v': Using built-in specs.
