--- Comment #1 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
This boils down to
char
foo (double a, double b)
{
if (a != b)
return a < b;
return 0;
}
which is what it is optimized into shortly after inling.
With -ffast-math this is optimized into return a < b, but without it we don't
because a < b comparison can raise exceptions while a != b doesn't.
Of course in this particular case it doesn't matter, because a < b isn't done
only if a == b and in that case neither operand should be NaN and so a < b
shouldn't raise exceptions.
