[cfe-dev] Clang-Cl - Representation of NAN; Code to reproduce

[Kaylor, Andrew via cfe-dev]

Actually, it looks like MSVC always does the division. The sign bit doesn’t matter.

FWIW, gcc also does the division in the non-volatile 0.0/0.0 case because it is preserving the floating point status flag that gets set by this operation. If you pass -ffast-math or -fno-trapping-math to gcc it will constant fold (to the same value clang uses). I can’t get MSVC to do the constant folding, but I might just not know the right option.

It's probably worth mentioning that clang doesn’t guarantee that floating point exception/status flag semantics will be preserved. That’s currently under development.

So MSVC's setting the sign bit when it shouldn't, report the bug to them.
