m68k fpu bug On gcc123 cfarm machine, I was testing m68k executables generated by Free Pascal Compiler. muller@gcc123:~/pas/check$ cat inf.pp function get_double(x : double):double; begin get_double:=x; end; var y : double; py : pbyte; i : byte; begin y:=1.0/0.0; py:=@y; {$ifdef ENDIAN_LITTLE} write('little endian y='); for i:=7 downto 0 do {$else not ENDIAN_LITTLE} write('big endian y='); for i:=0 to 7 do {$endif} write(hexstr(py[i],2)); writeln; y:=get_double(y)+1; {$ifdef ENDIAN_LITTLE} write('little endian y='); for i:=7 downto 0 do {$else not ENDIAN_LITTLE} write('big endian y='); for i:=0 to 7 do {$endif} write(hexstr(py[i],2)); writeln; end. muller@gcc123:~/pas/check$ ppc68k inf Free Pascal Compiler version 3.3.1-r20:42973M [2019/09/11] for m68k Copyright (c) 1993-2019 by Florian Klaempfl and others Target OS: Linux for m68k Compiling inf.pp Assembling program Linking inf 33 lines compiled, 0.1 sec muller@gcc123:~/pas/check$ ./inf big endian y=7FF0000000000000 big endian y=7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF muller@gcc123:~/pas/check$ qemu-m68k ./inf big endian y=7FF0000000000000 big endian y=7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF muller@gcc123:~/pas/check$ ~/sys-root/bin/qemu-m68k ./inf qemu-m68k qemu-m68k-fixed muller@gcc123:~/pas/check$ ~/sys-root/bin/qemu-m68k-fixed ./inf big endian y=7FF0000000000000 big endian y=7FF0000000000000 ~/sys-root/bin/qemu-m68k is 4.1.0 release, ~/sys-root/bin/qemu-m68k-fixed is the same source with a unique change: gnu/qemu/qemu-4.1.0/fpu/softfloat-specialize.h:214:#if defined(TARGET_M68K) gnu/qemu/qemu-4.1.0/fpu/softfloat-specialize.h-215-#define floatx80_infinity_low LIT64(0x0000000000000000) gnu/qemu/qemu-4.1.0/fpu/softfloat-specialize.h-216-#else gnu/qemu/qemu-4.1.0/fpu/softfloat-specialize.h-217-#define floatx80_infinity_low LIT64(0x8000000000000000) gnu/qemu/qemu-4.1.0/fpu/softfloat-specialize.h-218-#endif the M68K branch value is set to the same value as the other branch. The problem of the M68K specific floatx86_infinity_low values is that is enters in conflict with muller@gcc123:~/pas/check$ grep -nA6 invalid_enc /home/muller/gnu/qemu/qemu-4.1.0/include/fpu/softfloat.h 752:static inline bool floatx80_invalid_encoding(floatx80 a) 753-{ 754- return (a.low & (1ULL << 63)) == 0 && (a.high & 0x7FFF) != 0; 755-} And thus the m68k variant of floatx80 representing +Infinity is considered as an invalid encoding, and thus converted into a NaN 7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to another system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to "Incomplete" now. If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch the state back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report will be marked as "Expired". Or please mark it as "Fix Released" if the problem has been solved with a newer version of QEMU already. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience. I tested, in release 5.2.0, this issue is fixed. Thanks
