I don't think 4.1.4 mentions anything about comparisons. The only mention of unspecified with floating point is "The rounding of conversions from a fixed-point type to a floating point type is unspecified."</div>

UsualArithmeticConversions and handleFixedPointConversion do not actually convert anything, they simply determine what the result type of the operation would be. So that would not be the place to 'determine' unspecified-ness; that would be a property of how
the computation is performed in CodeGen or constant evaluation.<br>

I'm assuming you are trying to implement the floating point portions of N1169. A lot of the necessary boilerplate is not in place for that, as I haven't had time to look at it much quite yet.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello,<br>
When a comparison is made between the<b> fixed point and floating point</b>, the result is unspecified. Reference N1169 4.1.4 (Type conversion, usual arithmetic conversions).<br>
<br>
In code, for fixed-point number, <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap">handleFixedPointConversion()(SemaExpr.cpp) is called,
</span> I need to return unspecified.<br>
<br>
<i> <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap">handleFixedPointConversion()</span> {<br>
if ((LHS is fixed point && RHS is floating point) OR (RHS is fixed point && LHS is floating point) )<br>
return unspecified.<br>
}</i><br>
<br>
please let me know If anyone has idea, how to return unspecified or handle an unspecified case in UsualArithmeticConversions.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Nadaf.</div>
