[Bug c++/31179] New: strange behaviour of floor rounding

["hobiger at nict dot go dot jp" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org>]

This following small program will show the problem

# report.cpp 
#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

{
 double A=140.70;
 double x=floor((A*100));
 std::cout << "Testing: A = " <<  A << " --> A*100 = " << A*100 << " but
floor(A*100) = " << x << "\n";
 double B=140.60;
 double y=floor((B*100));

 std::cout << "Testing: B = " <<  B << " --> B*100 = " << B*100 << " but
floor(B*100) = " << y << "\n";

}

The program was compiled simply by "g++ report.cpp -o report."

For all machines available here I obtained 

Testing: A = 140.7 --> A*100 = 14070 but floor(A*100) = 14069
Testing: B = 140.6 --> B*100 = 14060 but floor(B*100) = 14060

The latter result is as expected but for A=128.7,129.7,130.7....163.7 floor
rounding gives wrong results. This bug has been verified on several
architectures (PIII,P3, WinXP - Cygwin) and under several versions of gcc/g++
(4.1.1 - on FC6, 4.0.2 - on RH,  3.4.6 -on RH)
Any ideas where this comes frome ???
