Subject: [Bug ada/18099] New: Incorrect rounding from floating point to integer
Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2004 17:01:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041021170112.18099.bosch@gcc.gnu.org> (raw)

Ada requires conversion of floating-point to integer to round, with halfway cases rounded away from 
zero. This is implemented by adding 0.5 to the floating-point value and then truncating, as in regular C 
float to int conversion. However, this gives wrong semantics for the predecessor of 0.5, and odd 
floating-point integers in the range 2.0**(mantissa - 1)+1.0 .. 2.0**(mantissa)-1.0 and the negative 
versions of these.

The reason is that adding 0.5 in the above cases, yields a value exactly between two 
representable floating-point numbers. So the predecessor of 0.5 is then rounded to one, and the 
floating-point integers mentioned before get rounded to the next higher integer.

I'll file a self-contained test case testing these cases.
