  The gfortran.dg/minlocval*.f90 tests are generating conditionals past
the infinities.  For example:

	if (x <= +Inf)
	  foo (x);
	else
	  bar (x);

It seems to me that the only possible value for x on the false side is
either NAN or undefined (for !HONOR_NANS).

Is this correct, or is there some other FP nuance I'm unaware of?

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* range-op-float.cc (build_lt): Handle < -INF.
	(build_gt): Handle > +INF.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gcc.dg/tree-ssa/vrp-float-inf-1.c: New test.

No, none of the ==, <, <=, >, >= comparisons are ever true if one
or both operands are NaN (only != will be true in those cases from the
standard comparisons, when not counting UNORDERED_EXPR and the likes).
So, x < -Inf or x > +Inf are always false, we just can't optimize those
away without -ffast-math because they could raise an exception on sNaN.
But I think not optimizing such operations away if we care about exceptions
is the duty of DCE etc.

No, no. I'm not talking about optimizing them away.  I'm talking about
representing what is going on in the IL.

For example, for:

if (x > 5.0)
  foo (x);     // {5.0, +Inf] !NAN
else
  bar (x);     // [-Inf, 5.0] ?NAN

So on the true side we know x is in the {5.0, +Inf] range, plus we
know it can't be a NAN.  On the false side we know x is either [-Inf,
5.0] or a NAN.

What I'm trying to do is represent the possible ranges for the false side of:

if (x <= Inf)
...

This will be [-Inf, Inf] !NAN on the true side and
NAN (either sign) on the false side indeed.

> if (x < -Inf)

will be NAN (either sign) on the true side and
[-Inf, Inf] !NAN on the false side.

Sweet, that's exactly what I thought, thus the patch.

Furthermore, for !HONOR_NANS I would expect the NAN sides above to be
UNDEFINED/unreachable.  That is, the false side of x <= Inf when
!HONOR_NANS is unreachable.

Agreed?

In practice, there is no real format that has NaNs and doesn't have Infs
or vice versa and similarly we have just one switch to cover both Infinities
and NaNs, so either both are supported, or neither of them, or both
are supported but neither of them should appear in a valid program
(-ffinite-math-only on most floating point formats).
So the answer in that case is a little bit fuzzy because one shouldn't
compare against infinity in that case (or for !MODE_HAS_INFINITIES even
can't).  But sure, if NaNs aren't possible or can't appear and you compare
x <= Largest_possible_float, then it is always true and so UNDEFINED on the
false edge.

OK, let's leave it as undefined to be consistent.

Come to think of it, perhaps we could represent the endpoints
(varying, [x, +INF], etc) as the min/max representable values for the
type (for !HONOR_NANS).  I don't think it would make a big difference,
but we might get better results for some corner cases.

Question...for !HONOR_NANS or !HONOR_INFINITIES or whatever, say the
range for the domain is [-MIN, +MAX] for the min and max representable
numbers.  What happens for MAX+1?  Is that undefined?  I wonder what
real.cc does for that.

Attached is the final version of the patch I'm pushing.  Tested (+mpfr
tests) on x86-64 Linux.

I'm afraid I have no idea.

The formats without Inf/NaN are:
spu_single_format
vax_{f,d,g}_format
arm_half_format

Never had the "pleasure" to work with any of these.
Looking at encode_vax_*, it seems both GCC internal inf and nan are
most likely are encoded as maximum or minimum representable numbers
(depending on sign), and encode_ieee_half for !fmt->has_inf does too
(for !fmt->has_nans it seems to "encode" the nan mantissa bits into
highest possible exponent).  encode_ieee_single (for spu) uses
maximum or minimum representable numbers for any infinities or nans.
What they actually do at runtime is something I can't really check,
but one would hope it is saturating...

I'd simply do what we do for -ffinite-math-only - just pretend you don't
cross the maximum/minmum value and effectively saturate the range.

Yeah, that sounds reasonable.  I take it I can assume that MAX+1 is
undefined for -ffinite-math-only?  So I'm free to saturate, etc?

Ok, crazy hypothetical talk...

if (x > y)

For -ffinite-math-only, on the true side, can I assume:

x: MIN + 1 ULP
y: MAX - 1 ULP

range-op for integers did all sorts of stuff like that, and we ended
up optimizing some interesting cases...as well as driving the middle
end warnings crazy :-P.

Actually, DEC (VAX and PDP-11) float does have NaN; signaling NaN to be precise.
