That's about contraction. The behavior in the OP can only be observed 
when no optimization is enabled (i.e. with `-O0`) or when strict 
standard compliance is requested (i.e. with `-std=c99` or `-ansi`) and 
no `-ffp-contract=fast` is in effect.

It is irrelevant to this issue. Contraction is about what happens within 
a floating-point operation, but in your program (the standard says) 
`2147483647` is converted to type `float` before the floating-point 
comparison, so it behaves as if you had added a cast like `f == 
(float)2147483647`. This implicit conversion can be observed by 
compiling the program in question with `-Wconversion`. You already had 
precision loss BEFORE the comparison which is irrecoverable by any 
evaluation method.
