I am running: qemu-ppc64le-static -L /usr/powerpc64le-linux-gnu ./a.out
This is buggy C.

** Changed in: qemu
Status: New => Invalid
The original code used a union. It generates the same assembler all the
same.

The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to another system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to "Incomplete" now.
If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch the state back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report will be marked as "Expired". Or mark it as "Fix Released" if the problem has been solved with a newer version of QEMU already. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Public bug reported: Building a reduced test program with 'gcc -O2 -fno-inline -mcpu=power8' produces wrong results at runtime. I don't think gcc is at fault here. --- #include <stdio.h> int getWord(const float x) { return *(int*)&x; } void main() { int foo = getWord(+123.456f); int bar = getWord(-123.456f); printf("%d\n", foo); printf("%d\n", bar); return; } --- This prints: --- 0 0 --- Compiling with 'gcc -O2 -fno-inline -mcpu=power7' and you instead get the expected result: --- 1123477881 -1024005767 --- The different between the two programs is: .size getWord,.-getWord Seems like qemu doesn't handle xscvdpspn/mfvsrwz correctly. https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/7ee19fb9d682689d36c849576c808cf92e3bae40 https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/f5c0f7f981333da59cc35c3210d05ec1775c97c1 ** Affects: qemu Importance: Undecided Status: New
