            Bug ID: 98420
           Summary: Invalid simplification of x - x with -frounding-math
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: middle-end
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: ubizjak at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Split out from PR96793, where Marc says in c13:

-q-
x-x does depend on the rounding mode (the transformation in match.pd gets it
wrong, by the way).
-/q-

The testcase:

--cut here--
#include <fenv.h>

double
__attribute__((noinline))
foo (double a)
{
  return a - a;
}

int
main ()
{
  double res;

  fesetround (FE_DOWNWARD);

  res = foo (1.11);

  if (__builtin_signbit (res) == 0)
    __builtin_abort ();

  return 0;
}
--cut here--

aborts with -O2 -ffinite-math-only -frounding-math

Please note that x - x with FE_DOWNWARD should result in -0.0.

The problem is in match.pd, where:

(simplify
 (minus @0 @0)
 (if (!FLOAT_TYPE_P (type) || !HONOR_NANS (type))
  { build_zero_cst (type); }))

should involve flag_rounding_math in some way.
