           Summary: Floating Point constant in C, with standard C99

           Version: 4.6.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3

Source code, ".i" file, and compiler output in a ".txt" file.

I think that the compiler doesn't recognize properly the type of the
floating-point constants for the standard C99.
A straight example is the simple sentence: 

(1.1F & 1);

In this case, 1.1F should be considered as a 'float' constant,
but the compiler triggers this error message:

error: invalid operands to binary & (have 'long double' and 'int')

Thus, the compiler considers that 1.1F has type 'long double', but 'float' is
expected.

I am running GCC 4.6.1 with MinGW, under a Windows 7 system.
In my system, FLT_EVAL_METHOD == 2, but I think that this is not the problem,
and that we have actually some kind of compiler bug.

The source code is just this:

---------------------------------------------------
int main(void) {
  1.1F & 1;
}
