I believe patches like this should be tested with all in-tree frontends,
ideally including Ada as well.

Please note that these change were all related to flag_unsafe_math_optimizations, and only c, c++ and fortran have testcases that compile with either -ffast-math or --funsafe-math-optimizations (no frontend uses either of these flags as default). For other cases, these patterns simply don't exist.


A "make boostrap"/"make -k check" with all default languages actually runs over the night here, but for these kind of back-end changes I never encountered any errors that weren't catched by testing c, c++ and fortran languages only. Building complex application like povray with -ffast-math is more likely to expose a compile-time or runtime problem.
