We follow Annex F here (so unspecified value rather than undefined - as discussed in other bugs, any given execution of the conversion in the abstract machine needs to act as if it does return some value of the type). > For integer to float conversions is the overflow considered before or after > applying the rounding?

It's fully defined regardless of the value (the appropriately rounded result is returned, which might be an infinity in case of overflow, or the largest finite value depending on the rounding mode). Whether the conversion overflows can indeed depend on the rounding mode (overflow occurs when a conversion in that rounding mode, with infinite exponent range, would produce a result with an exponent too large to represent in the floating-point format). For the IEEE formats and integer types supported by GCC, the only cases where overflow is possible are for conversions to _Float16, and from unsigned __int128 to float.
