With `-ffinite-math-only` (implied by `-ffast-math` and -Ofast), GCC considers all comparisons against infinities to be false and can optimize them away. This breaks several tests that rely on infinities to be compared correctly. To avoid this, we add GCC-specific optimize attribute that disables `-ffinite-math-only` optimization for floating point comarisions used in assertions. Signed-off-by: Ivan A. Melnikov <iv@altlinux.org>
From the GCC manual page: > Disregard strict standards compliance. -Ofast enables all -O3 optimizations. > It also enables optimizations that are not valid for all standard-compliant > programs. It turns on -ffast-math, -fallow-store-data-races. > It turns off -fsemantic-interposition. On recent clang, use "-O3 -ffast-math" due to > error: argument '-Ofast' is deprecated; use '-O3 -ffast-math' for the same > behavior, or '-O3' to enable only conforming optimizations > [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-ofast]
