[Bug c++/24014] New: casting int to double with got wrong result

[gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org]

	I've written an macro for log2 calculation to calculate the exponent of one value.
	Than I cast this value to from double to int.
	The 2 values double and int differs. 
	example:
	log2(8) should be 3 but after casting to int its 2.
	This bug could be reproduced on 2 different linux distributions (Debian GNU/Linux and Fedora Core 2) with different compiler versions.

Environment:
System: Linux lux 2.6.9 #2 Tue Dec 28 22:27:56 CET 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
Architecture: i686

	
host: i486-pc-linux-gnu
build: i486-pc-linux-gnu
target: i486-pc-linux-gnu
configured with: ../src/configure -v --enable-languages=c,c++,java,f77,pascal,objc,ada,treelang --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/3.3 --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit --with-system-zlib --enable-nls --without-included-gettext --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-debug --enable-java-gc=boehm --enable-java-awt=xlib --enable-objc-gc i486-linux

How-To-Repeat:
	use this code to reproduce it
	--- code ---
	#include <math.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#define log2(val) (log((val))/log(2.0))
	int main()
	{       
	      int n1=log2(8);
		double d1=log2(8);
		printf("%d %f\n",n1,d1);
		return 0;
	 }
	--- end ---

Fix:
	For workaround I implemented a function for log2.

This is really not a bug.

This is a dup of 323.
