[Bug c++/31789] New: odd roundoff behavior (may be due to 80-bit vs. 64-bit behavior?

Adding +x to -x should result in a hardware zero. But in this small gaussian
integration routine, .6^3 + -.6^3 is not zero.
When the same computation is done inline, it works.
This may be due to the hardware rounding properties, but given that the
integration routine is inline, I wouldn't see why it would behave differently
than the physically inline code. It's at the very least weird. My apologies if
this isn't a bug.
