151711 - The dtoa test compiled with gcc core dumps.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(NSPR :: NSPR, defect)

Description

[Wan-Teh Chang]

OS version: Tru64 UNIX V5.0A
gcc version: 3.0.4

When running the dtoa.c test compiled with gcc, I
get a core dump:
dec1:/u/wtc/nspr-merge/tip/osf1.dbg/pr/tests 192% ./dtoa
Floating exception (core dumped)

gdb says:
Program received signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception.
0x1200019e4 in main (argc=1, argv=0x11fffc018)
    at ../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/tests/dtoa.c:139
139         num = 1.0 / zero;
(gdb) print num
$1 = -1.8670000000000001e-73
(gdb) print zero
$2 = 0

I suspect that we need to use the -mieee compiler flag,
which we are using on Linux/Alpha.

It's unlikely that anyone will ever work
on this.  Marked the bug WONTFIX.
