[issue8265] test_float fails on ARM Linux EABI with soft floating point
Matthias Klose d...@debian.org added the comment: I checked with gcc-4.4 from the 4.4 branch, and with a recent build from the trunk. The check fails with -O0, and succeeds with -O1 and higher. Is the testcode from r82957 really using the optimization flags? -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8265 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue8265] test_float fails on ARM Linux EABI with soft floating point
Mark Dickinson dicki...@gmail.com added the comment: I notice (again) that these failures occur on the 2.6 and 3.1 buildslaves (where the debug build includes the -O2 compilation flag), but not the 2.7 or py3k buildslaves. So again this looks like a compiler optimization bug. This should really be reported upstream, but without direct access to the machine to produce a small failing example I don't think I can compose a decent bug report.

[issue8265] test_float fails on ARM Linux EABI with soft floating point
David Kirkby david.kir...@onetel.net added the comment: I'm seeing this failure on both Solaris 10 (SPARC processor) in 32-bit mode and OpenSolaris 06/2009 (Intel Xeon) in 64-bit mode using Python 2.6.4. So it is not just an ARM Linux issue. See http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9297 http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9299 Note, Solaris supports both a 32 and 64-bit ABI. Not sure if that is relevant, but I see ABI in the title, so perhaps it might be.

[issue8265] test_float fails on ARM Linux EABI with soft floating point
Mark Dickinson dicki...@gmail.com added the comment: I made a couple of experimental checkins to the release26-maint branch (I didn't want to do a temporary checkin to the trunk with a release imminent): see r79560 (which didn't work :) and its fix in r79601. Results: MIN = 2.2250738585072014e-308 TINY = 4.9406564584124654e-324 3*TINY = 1.4821969375237396e-323 MIN - 3*TINY = 2.2250738585071984e-308 ldexp(1.0, -1074) = 4.9406564584124654e-324 The values for MIN, TINY and 3*TINY are correct; the value for MIN - 3*TINY (which should be an exact operation) is not: it's giving something equal to MIN - 6*TINY instead. This should be easily reproducible at the C level, since the Python subtraction is just a thin wrapper around the corresponding C operation. So it looks as though the float emulation is buggy on this platform, and this bug should be reported upstream. Matthias, can you take care of this? For Python, I'm not sure what the appropriate action is, but I'd rather not skip the test, or otherwise completely silence the error. Maybe some sort of expected failure due to platform floating-point bug output? -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8265 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue8265] test_float fails on ARM Linux EABI with soft floating point
Mark Dickinson dicki...@gmail.com added the comment:
From the values in the report, float.fromhex is giving the correct value here,
but MIN-3*TINY is somehow coming out incorrectly.
Correct values (with Python 2.6, so old float repr; OS X 10.6.2):
Python 2.6.5+ (release26-maint:79559:79560, Apr 1 2010, 21:54:0)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646) (dot 1)] on darwin
Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information.
float.fromhex('0x0.d6p-1022')
2.2250738585071999e-308
MIN = float.fromhex('0x1p-1022')
TINY = float.fromhex('0x0.1p-1022')
MIN
2.2250738585072014e-308
TINY
4.9406564584124654e-324
3*TINY
1.4821969375237396e-323
MIN - 3*TINY
2.2250738585071999e-308
from math import ldexp
ldexp(1.0, -1074)
4.9406564584124654e-324
It would be helpful to see the corresponding ARM outputs. I suspect a platform
bug either in ldexp or in the multiplication or subtraction above.

[issue8265] test_float fails on ARM Linux EABI with soft floating point
Matthias Klose d...@debian.org added the comment: the buildbot labeled ARM Linux 3.x is an ARM EABI as well, compiler defaults -march=armv7 -math=vfp -float-abi=softfp. The failing test_float test is an ARM EABI, armv4, ARM mode, soft floating point. I never did see the test_float test suceed on this platform/configuration. -- title: test_float fails on ARM Linux EABI - test_float fails on ARM Linux EABI with soft floating point ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8265 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
