           Summary: Floating point to integer conversions
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.3.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: babelart@yahoo.com


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
int32_t main(int argc, char **argv)
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
{
    float elapsed = 0.3894949;

    fprintf( stdout, "Float 0.3894949=%f\n", elapsed );
    fprintf( stdout, "Float 0.3894949 * 100.0=%f\n", elapsed * 100.0 );
    fprintf( stdout, "Integer Cast 0.3894949 * 100.0=%d\n", (int32_t) (elapsed
* 100.0) );

    elapsed = 0.3894949 * 100;
    int32_t ielapsed = 0.3894949 * 100;

    fprintf( stdout, "Float=%f\n", elapsed );
    fprintf( stdout, "Integer=%d\n", ielapsed );

    fprintf( stdout, "------------------------------\n" );
    elapsed = 0.39;

    fprintf( stdout, "Float 0.39=%f\n", elapsed );
    fprintf( stdout, "Float 0.39 * 100.0=%f\n", elapsed * 100.0 );
    fprintf( stdout, "Integer Cast 0.39 * 100.0=%d\n", (int32_t) (elapsed *
100.0) );

    elapsed = 0.39 * 100;
    ielapsed = 0.39 * 100;

    fprintf( stdout, "Float=%f\n", elapsed );
    fprintf( stdout, "Integer=%d\n", ielapsed );

    exit( 0 );
}


The above code generates the following:

Float 0.3894949=0.389495
Float 0.3894949 * 100.0=38.949490
Integer Cast 0.3894949 * 100.0=38
Float=38.949490
Integer=38
------------------------------
Float 0.39=0.390000
Float 0.39 * 100.0=38.999999
Integer Cast 0.39 * 100.0=38
Float=39.000000
Integer=39

Casting and rounding seems to be a problem.
