Bug ID: 44680
Summary: Optimizer breaks compare for the negation of the
signed integer -0x80000000
Product: clang
Version: unspecified
Hardware: PC
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P
Component: C

simple program to reproduce the bug
The following 2 lines of code:
int NaN = -0x80000000;
printf ( "%d < 0 : %s\n", -NaN, (-NaN) < 0 ? "true" : "false" );
Correctly prints when build without optimizations:
-2147483648 < 0 : true
But incorrectly prints when build with -O1 or higher:
-2147483648 < 0 : false
_______________________________________________
-0x80000000 has no positive counterpart as 0x7FFFFFFF is the max positive
value of an int32. So when you negate -0x80000000 it remains -0x80000000.
I think the optimizer rewrites the statement "( -Nan ) < 0" to "Nan > 0", but
this changes the result.
