SIGFPE exception in HP-UX 11iv2 (11.23) PA-RISC (both debug & release builds)

[Thiagu_1]

We find the following SIGFPE exception in HP-UX 11iv2 (11.23) PA-RISC (both debug & release) in one of our use case.

The same use case works well with HP-UX 11iv1 (11.11) PA-RISC.
It also works fine in HP-UX 11.23 IA.

You are getting an integer overflow converting from a double to a unsigned long (64 bit in this case).
A workaround would be to convert to just a long.

>The same use case works well with HP-UX 11.11 PA-RISC.

That 11.11 patch for _U_Qfcnvfxt_dbl_to_quad may not have been made for 11.23?

>It also works fine in HP-UX 11.23 IPF.

It is impossible to fail there since the IPF hardware directly supports this conversion.

hi,

Can we apply the patch for _U_Qfcnvfxt_dbl_to_quad in 11.23 to fix this issue ? If so please let us know the patch set to be applied for 11.23.


Thanks,
Thiagu

Yes, the bug is CR JAGag04224 and it is fixed in PHCO_35744, released in March. That's probably why is was in 11.11 but not your 11.23 Quality Pack.

[Thiagu_1]

After applying that patch , a quick test was done and it is working now.

Thanks,
Thiagu
