Bug #: 55462 Summary: [4.8 Regression] FAIL: gfortran.dg/quad_2.f90 -O* execution test after revision 193770 Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libquadmath AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: domi...@lps.ens.fr CC: bur...@gcc.gnu.org, h...@gcc.gnu.org After revision 193770, the test gfortran.dg/quad_2.f90 fails at runtime. As shown by the following reduced test, this is due to a difference between the last ULP for read and write. program test_qp use iso_fortran_env, only: real_kinds implicit none integer, parameter :: QP = real_kinds(ubound(real_kinds,dim=1)) real(qp) :: fp2, fp4 character(len=80) :: str4 fp2 = sqrt (2.0_qp) write (str4,'(g0)') fp2 read (str4, *) fp4 print *, fp2, fp4, (fp4-fp2)/epsilon(fp2) if (fp2 /= fp4) call abort() end program test_qp The output is 1.41421356237309504880168872420969798 1.41421356237309504880168872420969779 -1.00000000000000000000000000000000000
