Bug ID: 77519
Summary: [5/6/7 Regression] complex multiply / divide excess
precision handling inverted
Product: gcc
Version: 7.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: libgcc
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: jsm28 at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
libgcc complex multiply and divide are meant to eliminate excess precision from
certain internal values by forcing them to memory in exactly those cases where
the type has excess precision. But in
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-09/msg01894.html I accidentally
inverted the logic so that values get forced to memory in exactly the cases
where it's not needed. (This is a pessimization in the no-excess-precision
case, in principle could lead to bad results depending on code generation in
the excess-precision case.)
