Package: gij-3.3
Version: 1:3.3.4-1
Severity: normal

Concerning the following Java source:

------------------------------------------------------------------
// $Id: test.java 3734 2004-06-21 15:36:52Z lefevre $

public class test {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        test t = new test();
        t.doTest();
    }

    volatile double x, y, z, d;

    public void doTest() {
        x = 9007199254740994.0; /* 2^53 + 2 */
        y = 1.0 - 1/65536.0;
        z = x + y;
        d = z - x;
        System.out.println("z = " + z);
        System.out.println("d = " + d);
    }
}
------------------------------------------------------------------

I've compiled it with "gcj -C test.java" (GCC 3.3.4).

Both IBM's and Sun's JVM give the correct result:

greux:~/wd/src/fp> /global/greux/lefevre/IBMJava2-131/jre/bin/java test
z = 9.007199254740994E15
d = 0.0

greux:~/wd/src/fp> /usr/local/j2re1.4.1/bin/java test
z = 9.007199254740994E15
d = 0.0

but not gij-wrapper:

greux:~/wd/src/fp> /usr/bin/gij-wrapper-3.3 test
z = 9.007199254740996E15
d = 2.0

gij-wrapper (or ... ?) should switch the FPU of the x86 processor
(Pentium III in my case) to rounding in double precision to avoid the
effect of the "double rounding" (you may find some information about
this effect here: <http://www.srware.com/linux_numerics.txt>).
