Hi everyone, Hope you all are doing well!! I am new to the tinycc community. I was working over Diverse Double-compiling technique [1]. And found there is a bad optimization performed by tcc. The problem is called Long double constant problem.
*Long double constant problem* is for storing the value of 0.0, tcc stores 0.0 in memory as long double value but long double value in tcc takes only 10 bytes but the source code stores 0.0 value in 12 bytes. The extra two bytes creates variations in the output. The problem is solved using (f1-f1) instead of 0.0, it is semantically same and produces the same output. For example, Instead of ‘if(f2==0.0)’ use ‘if(f2==f1-f1)’ I have pushed my solution <https://repo.or.cz/tinycc.git/commit/405aef9155fb66e280dac82ce521d5d2ea06f2ab> and please let me know if you have any queries regarding it. Regards Ayush
