--- Comment #8 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Jakub Jelinek <ja...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:88e7f1f7ee67462713a89104ae07e99b191d5e2c commit r14-1619-g88e7f1f7ee67462713a89104ae07e99b191d5e2c Author: Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> Date: Wed Jun 7 19:27:35 2023 +0200 libstdc++: Fix up 20_util/to_chars/double.cc test for excess precision [PR110145] This test apparently contains 3 problematic floating point constants, 1e126, 4.91e-6 and 5.547e-6. These constants suffer from double rounding when -fexcess-precision=standard evaluates double constants in the precision of Intel extended 80-bit long double. As written in the PR, e.g. the first one is 0x1.7a2ecc414a03f7ff6ca1cb527787b130a97d51e51202365p+418 in the precision of GCC's internal format, 80-bit long double has 63-bit precision, so the above constant rounded to long double is 0x1.7a2ecc414a03f800p+418L (the least significant bit in the 0 before p isn't there already). 0x1.7a2ecc414a03f800p+418L rounded to IEEE double is 0x1.7a2ecc414a040p+418. Now, if excess precision doesn't happen and we round the GCC's internal format number directly to double, it is 0x1.7a2ecc414a03fp+418 and that is the number the test expects. One can see it on x86-64 (where excess precision to long double doesn't happen) where double(1e126L) != 1e126. The other two constants suffer from the same problem. The following patch tweaks the testcase, such that those problematic constants are used only if FLT_EVAL_METHOD is 0 or 1 (i.e. when we have guarantee the constants will be evaluated in double precision), plus adds corresponding tests with hexadecimal constants which don't suffer from this excess precision problem, they are exact in double and long double can hold all double values. 2023-06-07 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR libstdc++/110145 * testsuite/20_util/to_chars/double.cc: Include <cfloat>.
