Description Brooks Moses 2014-01-09 19:08:17 UTC
This is failing with GLIBC trunk as of 10am PST on 2014-01-09.

Configure with "../glibc/configure --prefix=/usr CC='gcc -m32' CXX='g++ -m32' --target=powerpc32-unknown-linux-gnu --build=powerpc32-unknown-linux-gnu --host=powerpc32-unknown-linux-gnu" on an IBM Power7; run "make" and "make check".

I'm seeing failures in both math/test-float and math/test-double, with essentially identical test-*.out outputs.  The contents of test-float.out are included below.  This bug report is for the logb_downward failure (which is that it's producing a negative zero where it should be producing a positive zero); I've filed the llrint failure separately.

FWIW, this is also failing in math-ldouble.
Comment 2 Brooks Moses 2014-01-09 19:27:30 UTC
...and this is failing in the test-ifloat, test-idouble, test-ildoubl inline variants as well.
Comment 3 Brooks Moses 2014-01-09 19:55:03 UTC
It turns out that this is probably a duplicate of bug 887, though I'll let someone else confirm before closing it.

The reason for bug 887 being closed was spurious (and it should not have 
been listed in NEWS as fixed for 2.16).  There was a GCC fix only for more 
recent Power processors.  I think the bug should probably be kept open for 
the point that glibc should work around the GCC bug (conditionally on a 
configure test for whether the code generated needs it, i.e. that it uses 
the problem arithmetic operations without modifying the rounding mode 
temporarily).  In addition, a GCC bug should be filed in GCC Bugzilla, if 
not already open, for the bad code generation for these conversions with 
-frounding-math.

Closing as a duplicate of bug 887, which I have reopened.
