FP exception reporting not working on NetBSD host

I recognize that NetBSD is not one of the officially supported host OS.  However, qemu 0.13.0 is available in the NetBSD pkgsrc collection, and works quite well.  Well, with one exception (pun intended): It seems that Floating Point exceptions don't get reported properly.

The following code-snippet demonstrates the problem:


volatile int flt_signal = 0;

static sigjmp_buf sigfpe_flt_env;
static void
sigfpe_flt_action(int signo, siginfo_t *info, void *ptr)
{
        flt_signal++;
}

void trigger(void)
{               
        struct sigaction sa;
        double d = strtod("0", NULL);
        
        if (sigsetjmp(sigfpe_flt_env, 0) == 0) {
                sa.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO;
                sa.sa_sigaction = sigfpe_flt_action;
                sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask);
                sigaction(SIGFPE, &sa, NULL);
                fpsetmask(FP_X_INV|FP_X_DZ|FP_X_OFL|FP_X_UFL|FP_X_IMP);
                printf("%g\n", 1 / d);
        }
        printf("FPE signal handler invoked %d times.\n");
}

this printf() does miss an argument :-)

Yes, it does.  The signal handler is also missing a line:

 	siglongjmp(sigfpe_flt_env, 1);

That's what I get for extracting bits&pieces of the larger test program. 
:)


The following is a complete, standalone test program:

 	#include <ieeefp.h>
 	#include <setjmp.h>
 	#include <signal.h>
 	#include <stdio.h>

 	volatile int flt_signal = 0;

 	static sigjmp_buf sigfpe_flt_env;
 	static void
 	sigfpe_flt_action(int signo, siginfo_t *info, void *ptr)
 	{

 		flt_signal++;
 		siglongjmp(sigfpe_flt_env, 1);
 	}
 	int main(int argc, void *argv[])
 	{
 		struct sigaction sa;
 		double d;

 		printf("Start\n");
 		if (sigsetjmp(sigfpe_flt_env, 0) == 0) {
 			sa.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO;
 			sa.sa_sigaction = sigfpe_flt_action;
 			sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask);
 			sigaction(SIGFPE, &sa, NULL);
 			fpsetmask(FP_X_INV|FP_X_DZ|FP_X_OFL|FP_X_UFL|FP_X_IMP);
 			d = 1.0 / strtod("0", NULL);
 		}
 		printf("FPE signal handler invoked %d times.\n");
 	}

Executing the program gives the following results:

 	# cc -o test test.c
 	# ./test
 	Start
 	FPE signal handler invoked 0 times.
 	#

On "real" hardware,

 	{225} cc -o test test.c
 	{226} ./test
 	Start
 	FPE signal handler invoked 1 times.
 	{227}

And, of course, I still missed the extra agument:

                 printf("FPE signal handler invoked %d times.\n", flt_signal);

QEMU 0.13 is completely outdated nowadays - can you still reproduce this problem with the latest version of QEMU (currently version 2.8) ?

The test program running on qemu 2.8.0 now produces the expected results 
- 1 FP exception

You can close this bug.
