[llvm-dev] fp-contract=fast and pragmas

[Steve (Numerics) Canon via llvm-dev]

It sounds to me like this test is simply incompatible with fp-contract=fast and should not be used in that mode.

The Polybench benchmarks in the test are currently attempting to use ‘#pragma STDC FP_CONTRACT OFF’ to create a value-safe kernel whose results can be compared against an otherwise identical kernel that is compiled with whatever options the test suite is configured to use. This strategy fails if the test suite is configured to compile with ‘-ffp-contract=fast’. That’s the problem I’m trying to solve by having clang respect the pragma.
