[Bug fortran/33296] nearest(huge(1.0),1.0) gives an error

["dominiq at lps dot ens dot fr" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

------- Comment #2 from dominiq at lps dot ens dot fr  2007-09-04 12:05 -------
I don't think the PR is invalid:

(1) at least it should go the "enhancement" with the addition of " This check
can be disabled with the option -fno-range-check" as in

print *, huge(0), -2147483648
                            1
Error: Integer too big for its kind at (1). This check can be disabled with the
option -fno-range-check

(2) I think the two cases are totally different:

 huge(0)+1 cannot be represented in the integer model, thus the overflow;

 as soon as the compiler knows INF/NAN (and gfortran does), I think
nearest(huge(1.0),1.0)==+Inf is part of the floating point model and should not
throw even a warning (even with -std=xx -pedantic).

I don't want to start a flame war of this issue, but look at the number of
mails, answers, noise, ..., generated by -2147483648 (note that I did not write
-(2147483648)!-).
