Description Vincent Lefèvre 2013-01-17 13:13:42 UTC
GCC doesn't set the FE_INVALID flag on comparison with NAN (<=, >=, <, >), e.g. with:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <fenv.h>

#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON

int main (void)
{
  double d = NAN;
  int err;

  feclearexcept (FE_INVALID);
  d <= 0.0;
  err = ! fetestexcept(FE_INVALID);
  if (err)
    printf ("The FE_INVALID flag is not set\n");
  return err;
}

   d <= 0.0;
   ^
$ ./nancmp
The FE_INVALID flag is not set

The "statement with no effect" warning would also be incorrect once this bug is fixed.
Comment 1 Richard Biener 2013-01-17 13:21:26 UTC
The comparison is dead.  FENV_ACCESS is not implemented (side-effects on
FENV are not preserved).  Use

  if (d <= 0.0)
    __asm("");

GCC uses ucomisd for the comparison, even with -fsignalling-nans.

Dup of bug 34678, FENV_ACCESS is not implemented ...
