Subject: [PATCH] riscv: Set __GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 0 if __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ is -1
Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2023 14:13:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <PAWPR08MB898222154C8FB5A0ECF896C983A39@PAWPR08MB8982.eurprd08.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

Hi Kito,

This looks like a recent bug in LLVM - even with -Ofast compilers continue to
use float and double for evaluation (obviously!), so float_t and double_t should
not change (which may break ABI if some code uses -Ofast and some doesn't,
leading to incompatible float_t/double_t definitions).

So this should be reported to and fixed in LLVM, and if we want/need to work
around it in GLIBC, it should be done in the generic flt-eval-method.h header
so that it works on all targets.

Cheers,
Wilco
