#8849: Unregisterised compiler: arithmetic failure --------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: | Owner: trommler | Status: new Type: bug | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.8.1-rc2 Component: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Compiler | Type of failure: Incorrect result at runtime Keywords: | Test Case: arith005 Architecture: | Blocking: Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: | Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: #8819 | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Compiling the following with RC2 on powerpc 64 downloaded from haskell.org: {{{ main = putStr $ show (-1.0000000001 :: Double) }}} Setting {{{-O}}} yields: {{{ 0.0 }}} Without optimization the correct result is displayed. I prepared an unregisterised compiler on amd64 and see the same issue and more arithmetic tests fail in testsuite. In fact I took the above from arith005. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8849 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
