Not a bug. Internally your P4 uses more than 64 bits in its calculations. Here's my test and output from my AMD, Sun and MIPS: typedef union number_s { long long ll; double d; } t_number; #define P(x) printf(#x "=%e %016llx\n", x.d, x.ll) int main() { t_number u, d, w, t, r; u.ll = 0x7fefffffffffffff; d.ll = 0x4140000000000000; w.ll = 0x7ea0000000000000; t.d = d.d * w.d; t.d = u.d - t.d; r.d = (u.d - d.d * w.d); P(u); P(d); P(w); P(r); P(t); } AMD: u=1.797693e+308 7fefffffffffffff d=2.097152e+06 4140000000000000 w=8.572069e+301 7ea0000000000000 r=-1.995840e+292 fca0000000000000 t=-inf fff0000000000000 Sun: u=1.797693e+308 7fefffffffffffff d=2.097152e+06 4140000000000000 w=8.572069e+301 7ea0000000000000 r=-Inf fff0000000000000 t=-Inf fff0000000000000 MIPS: u=1.797693e+308 7fefffffffffffff d=2.097152e+06 4140000000000000 w=8.572069e+301 7ea0000000000000 r=-inf fff0000000000000 t=-inf fff0000000000000 /Kjeld -- _ _ ____ ___ Mailto:kjelde@mips.com |\ /|||___)(___ MIPS Denmark Direct: +45 44 86 55 85 | \/ ||| ____) Lautrupvang 4 B Switch: +45 44 86 55 55 TECHNOLOGIES DK-2750 Ballerup Fax...: +45 44 86 55 56 Denmark http://www.mips.com/
