考虑以下程序:
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <cstring>
#include <xmmintrin.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
// 4 float32s.
__m128 nans;
// Set them all to 0xffffffff which should be NaN.
memset(&nans, 0xff, 4*4);
// cmpord should return a mask of 0xffffffff for any non-NaNs, and 0x00000000 for NaNs.
__m128 mask = _mm_cmpord_ps(nans, nans);
// AND the mask with nans to zero any of the nans. The result should be 0x00000000 for every component.
__m128 z = _mm_and_ps(mask, nans);
cout << z[0] << " " << z[1] << " " << z[2] << " " << z[3] << endl;
return 0;
}
如果我用 Apple Clang 7.0.2 编译和不编译-ffast-math
,我会得到预期的输出0 0 0 0
:
$ clang --version
Apple LLVM version 7.0.2 (clang-700.1.81)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.5.0
Thread model: posix
$ clang test.cpp -o test
$ ./test
0 0 0 0
$ clang test.cpp -ffast-math -o test
$ ./test
0 0 0 0
然而,在更新到 8.1.0 之后(对不起,我不知道这对应于哪个 Clang 的实际版本 - Apple 不再发布该信息),-ffast-math
似乎打破了这一点:
$ clang --version
Apple LLVM version 8.1.0 (clang-802.0.42)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin16.6.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin
$ clang test.cpp -o test
$ ./test
0 0 0 0
$ clang test.cpp -ffast-math -o test
$ ./test
nan nan nan nan
我怀疑这是因为严格的别名规则或类似的东西。谁能解释这种行为?
编辑:我忘了提到,如果你这样做nans = { std::nanf(nullptr), ...
,效果很好。
还查看Godbolt,似乎 Clang 3.8.1 和 Clang 3.9 之间的行为发生了变化——后者删除了cmpordps
指令。GCC 7.1 似乎保留了它。
