             Bug #: 55700
           Summary: i386: incorrect divide-by-zero exception generated
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: soren.sandmann@gmail.com

The reproducer program

The attached program generates a divide-by-zero on i686 when compiled with -O2.
The divide-by-zero comes from this fragment:

    if (t == 0.0f)
        b = sa * da;
    else
        b = sa * sa * d / (t);

which as far as I know should be a legitimate way to ensure division by zero
doesn't happen. In particular, the t value generated is a negative zero, which
should compare equal to 0.0f unless I'm misunderstanding something.

I have reproduced the bug with 4.7.0 and 4.7.2 running in 32 bit mode, and with
4.7.2 with -m32 on x86-64.

On x86-64:

localhost:~% gcc -m32 -W -Wextra -Wall -g -O2 gccfloat.c -lm
localhost:~% ./a.out 
Floating exception

localhost:~% gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
