[Bug middle-end/33611] [4.1/4.2/4.3 regression] Optimizations generate incorrect code



------- Comment #3 from bangerth at dealii dot org  2007-10-01 17:16 -------
For once a real floating point bug. In this code
    double p = 0.422244 * f[a.e];
    if (f[0] < p)

with a.e=1, f[1]=0.285433, we should calculate p=0.285433. Since
f[0]=0.0461109, we shouldn't enter the if-clause, but we do when
optimization is on. Since the numbers aren't even close, this isn't
due to excess precision or any other floating point instability but
a real bug.

Funny enough, this was already broken in 2.95, 3.2.3 and 3.3.6 but then
worked in 3.4.6 and 4.0.x only to be broken again in 4.1.2.
