http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4198 Summary: [FreeBSD] imprecision in decimal floating-point literals Product: D Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: FreeBSD Status: NEW Keywords: patch, rejects-valid Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: DMD AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com ReportedBy: rsinfu gmail.com --- Created an attachment (id=632) Patch for DMD (svn r490) This assertion fails with DMD built on FreeBSD 8: -------------------- static assert(1.0L == 0x1.0p+0L); // Error: static assert (0x1.00000000000004p+0L == 1L) is false -------------------- The left decimal floating-point literal is slightly wrong. The compiler uses some tables (negtab and postab) for converting decimal strings to long double values, but GCC on FreeBSD/i386 slightly changes them by rounding everything in the table to double precision. This causes precision loss of decimal floating-point literals. The attached patch fixes the problem, by adding byte sequence version of the numeric tables to backend/strtold.c so that the tables' contents will not be rounded by GCC. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
