Trunc and Round in GLIBC

[Dhiraj Sharma]

I am running into anomalous behavior of trunc() and round() on Red Hat 7.3 (no changes made from my side at all) running on an Intel Pentium CPU. The following program gives me two numbers, both 0.

 

#include <stdio.h>

#include <math.h>

int main() {

   printf("%f\n", trunc(2.1);

   printf("%f\n", round(2.1);

}

 

If I use truncf and roundf, I get some random numbers. Other functions, such as, rint, floor, ceil give expected results.

 

If I am doing something wrong, it is totally unknown to me. I would appreciate help in this regard. Thank you very much in advance.

 

Regards,

Dhiraj Sharma
