Hi
I thought I should mention this here too in case anyone else gets
bitten by this arm-gnueabi-softfloat-specific bug.
A GCC bug has just turned up that affects the arm-*-gnueabi
architecture in gcc-4.[123]. While debugging libvorbisenc (which
produces silent output files on armel), it turns out that when -O
-ffast-math are set, GCC can produce incorrect code for the max(x,y)
macro applied to floating point values.
Thanks to Erik de Castro Lopo for some incisive debugging and for
producing a minimal example (should print "0 0" but doesn't)
/*
** This file is in the Public Domain.
**
** This program demonstrates a bug in the -ffast-math option of the gcc
** armel compiler : gcc version 4.3.2 (Debian 4.3.2-1.1)
**
** This works as expected:
**
** > gcc -Wall -O3 gcc-test.c -o gcc-test && ./gcc-test
** min : 0.0000 max : 0.0000
**
** Compile with -ffast-math and things goes screwy.
**
** > gcc -Wall -O3 -ffast-math gcc-test.c -o gcc-test && ./gcc-test
** min : 99999.0000 max : 0.0000

#include <stdio.h>
#define COUNT 10
#define test_max(x,y) ((x) < (y) ? (y) : (x))
#define test_min(x,y) ((x) > (y) ? (y) : (x))
int
main (void)
{ /* C Standard says static data gets initialized to zero. */
static float data [COUNT] ;
float max = -99999.0, min = 99999.0 ;
int k ;
for (k = 0 ; k < COUNT ; k++)
{ max = test_max (max, data [k]) ;
min = test_min (min, data [k]) ;
} ;
printf ("min : %12.4f max : %12.4f\n", min, max) ;
return 0 ;
}
