[PATCH, i386]: Committed: Prevent NaNs for sqrt(0.0) with -mrecip


Hello!

Attached patch fixes -mrecip for sqrt(0.0). Patch was tested on i686-pc-linux-gnu, and is committed to mainline SVN.

2007-06-18 Uros Bizjak <ubizjak@gmail.com>

	* config/i386/i386.c (ix86_emit_swsqrtsf): Limit the result of
	rsqrt insn to FLT_MAX to avoid NaN for zero input argument.

Uros.
