            Bug ID: 107436
           Summary: Is -fsignaling-nans still experimental?
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: web
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: florian.schanda at bmw dot de
  Target Milestone: ---

Hi,

Is the following statement in the documentation on "-fsignaling-nans"
still correct?

> This option is experimental and does not currently guarantee to
> disable all GCC optimizations that affect signaling NaN behavior.

The context is that we have a safety mechanism in a third-party library
that relies signalling nans to work correctly; and if we cannot guarantee 
it with this option it would be a major headache indeed.

Any advice (or even better statement that the experimental note is outdated
and can be deleted) would be appreciated.

Many thanks in advance!
