I have made some more progress on this patch. I have fixed the issue
with aggregates:

test=> select avg(ff) from tt;
ERROR: type "double precision" value out of range: overflow

and tested the performance overhead of the new CheckFloat8Val() calls
the fix requires using:

EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT AVG(x.COL)
FROM (SELECT 323.2 AS COL FROM generate_series(1,1000000)) AS x;

and could not measure any overhead.

I also found a few more bugs, this one with float4 negation:

test=> SELECT -('0'::float4);
?column?
----------
-0
(1 row)

test=> SELECT -('0'::float8);
?column?
----------
0
(1 row)

and this one with casting 'Nan' to an integer:

test=> SELECT 'Nan'::float8::int4;
int4
-------------
-2147483648
(1 row)

I have fixed these as well:

test=> SELECT -('0'::float4);
?column?
----------
0
(1 row)

test=> SELECT 'Nan'::float8::int4;
ERROR: integer out of range

The only unsolved issue is the one with underflow checks. I have added
comments explaining the problem in case someone ever figures out how to
address it.

If I don't receive further comments, I will apply the new attached patch
shortly.

Bug reference: 2846
Logged by: Roman Kononov
Email address: kononov195-pgsql@yahoo.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.2.0 and older
Operating system: linux 2.6.15-27-amd64 ubuntu
Description: inconsistent and confusing handling of underflows, NaNs
and INFs
Details:

This is a very interesting bug report. It seems you have done some good
analysis of PostgreSQL and how it handles certain corner cases,
infinity, and NaN.

I have researched your findings and will show some fixes below:

Please compare the results of the simple queries.
==============================================
test=# select ('NaN'::float4)::int2;
int2
------
0
(1 row)

There certainly should be an isnan() test when converting to int2
because while float can represent NaN, int2 cannot. The fix shows:

test=> select ('NaN'::float4)::int2;
ERROR: smallint out of range

test=# select ('NaN'::float4)::int4;
int4
-------------
-2147483648
(1 row)

Same for int4:

test=> select ('NaN'::float4)::int4;
ERROR: integer out of range

test=# select ('NaN'::float4)::int8;
ERROR: bigint out of range

This one was correct because it uses rint() internally.

test=# select ('nan'::numeric)::int4;
ERROR: cannot convert NaN to integer
==============================================
test=# select abs('INF'::float4);
abs
----------
Infinity
(1 row)

Correct.

test=# select abs('INF'::float8);
ERROR: type "double precision" value out of range: overflow

This one was more complicated. float4/8 operations test for
results > FLOAT[84]_MAX. This is because if you do this:

test=> select (1e201::float8)*(1e200::float8);

the result internally is Infinity, so they check for Inf as a check for
overflow. The bottom line is that while the current code allows
infinity to be entered, it does not allow the value to operate in many
context because it is assumes Inf to be an overflow indicator. I have
fixed this by passing a boolean to indicate if any of the operands were
infinity, and if so, allow an infinite result, so this now works:

test=> select abs('INF'::float8);
abs
----------
Infinity
(1 row)

==============================================
test=# select -('INF'::float4);
?column?
-----------
-Infinity
(1 row)

test=# select -('INF'::float8);
ERROR: type "double precision" value out of range: overflow

And this now works too:

test=> select -('INF'::float8);
?column?
-----------
-Infinity
(1 row)

==============================================
test=# select (1e-37::float4)*(1e-22::float4);
?column?
----------
0
(1 row)

This one is quite complex. For overflow, there is a range of values
that is represented as > FLOAT8_MAX, but for values very large, the
result becomes Inf. The old code assumed an Inf result was an overflow,
and threw an error, as I outlined above. The new code does a better
job.

Now, for underflow. For underflow, we again have a range slightly
smaller than DBL_MIN where we can detect an underflow, and throw an
error, but just like overflow, if the underflow is too small, the result
becomes zero. The bad news is that unlike Inf, zero isn't a special
value. With Inf, we could say if we got an infinite result from
non-infinite arguments, we had an overflow, but for underflow, how do we
know if zero is an underflow or just the correct result? For
multiplication, we could say that a zero result for non-zero arguments
is almost certainly an underflow, but I don't see how we can handle the
other operations as simply.

I was not able to fix the underflow problems you reported.

test=# select (1e-37::float4)*(1e-2::float4);
ERROR: type "real" value out of range: underflow
==============================================
test=# select (1e-300::float8)*(1e-30::float8);
?column?
----------
0
(1 row)

test=# select (1e-300::float8)*(1e-20::float8);
ERROR: type "double precision" value out of range: underflow
==============================================
test=# select ('INF'::float8-'INF'::float8);
?column?
----------
NaN
(1 row)

test=# select ('INF'::float8+'INF'::float8);
ERROR: type "double precision" value out of range: overflow

This works fine now:

test=> select ('INF'::float8+'INF'::float8);
?column?
----------
Infinity
(1 row)

==============================================
test=# select ('INF'::float4)::float8;
float8
----------
Infinity
(1 row)

test=# select ('INF'::float8)::float4;
ERROR: type "real" value out of range: overflow
==============================================
test=# select cbrt('INF'::float4);
cbrt
----------
Infinity
(1 row)

test=# select sqrt('INF'::float4);
ERROR: type "double precision" value out of range: overflow

This works fine too:

test=> select ('INF'::float8)::float4;
float4
----------
Infinity
(1 row)

==============================================
test=# select ((-32768::int8)::int2)%(-1::int2);
?column?
----------
0
(1 row)

test=# select ((-2147483648::int8)::int4)%(-1::int4);
ERROR: floating-point exception
DETAIL: An invalid floating-point operation was signaled. This probably
means an out-of-range result or an invalid operation, such
as division by zero.

This was an interesting case. It turns out the value has to be INT_MIN,
and the second value has to be -1. The exception happens, I think,
because the CPU does the division first before getting the remainder,
and INT_MIN / -1 is > INT_MAX, hence the error. I just special-cased it
to return zero in the int4mod() code:

test=> select ((-2147483648::int8)::int4)%(-1::int4);
?column?
----------
0
(1 row)

You can actually show the error without using int8:

test=> select ((-2147483648)::int4) % (-1);
?column?
----------
0
(1 row)

The parentheses are required to make the value negative before the cast
to int4.

==============================================
test=# create table tt (ff float8);
CREATE TABLE
test=# insert into tt values (1e308),(1e308),(1e308);
INSERT 0 3
test=# select * from tt;
ff
--------
1e+308
1e+308
1e+308
(3 rows)

test=# select avg(ff) from tt;
avg
----------
Infinity
(1 row)

test=# select stddev(ff) from tt;
stddev
--------
NaN
(1 row)

I didn't study the aggregate cases. Does someone want to look those
over?

The attached patch fixes all the items I mentioned above.

I have made some more progress on this patch.

I'm not convinced that you're fixing things so much as doing your best
to destroy IEEE-compliant float arithmetic behavior.

I think what we should probably consider is removing CheckFloat4Val
and CheckFloat8Val altogether, and just letting the float arithmetic
have its head. Most modern hardware gets float arithmetic right per
spec, and we shouldn't be second-guessing it.

A slightly less radical proposal is to reject only the case where
isinf(result) and neither input isinf(); and perhaps likewise with
respect to NaNs.

I vote for complete IEEE-compliance. No exceptions with pure floating
point math. Float -> int conversions should reject overflow, INF and
NaN. Float -> numeric conversions should reject INF.

A slightly less radical proposal is to reject only the case where
isinf(result) and neither input isinf(); and perhaps likewise with
respect to NaNs.

This might look like another possibility for confusion. For example
INF-INF=NaN.

Roman.

This will behave better for float4:

Are you sure? As I remember, computation automatically upgrades to
'double'. See this program and output:

#include <stdlib.h>

int

I'm not convinced that you're fixing things so much as doing your best
to destroy IEEE-compliant float arithmetic behavior.

I think what we should probably consider is removing CheckFloat4Val
and CheckFloat8Val altogether, and just letting the float arithmetic
have its head. Most modern hardware gets float arithmetic right per
spec, and we shouldn't be second-guessing it.

Well, I am on an Xeon and can confirm that our computations of large
non-infinite doubles who's result greatly exceed the max double are
indeed returning infinity, as the poster reported, so something isn't
working, if it supposed to. What do people get for this computation?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

{
double a = 1e300, b = 1e300;
double c;

c = a * b;

}

I get 'inf'. I am on BSD and just tested it on Fedora Core 2 and got
'inf' too.

A slightly less radical proposal is to reject only the case where
isinf(result) and neither input isinf(); and perhaps likewise with
respect to NaNs.

Uh, that's what the patch does for 'Inf':

result = arg1 + arg2;
CheckFloat4Val(result, isinf(arg1) || isinf(arg2));

I didn't touch 'Nan' because that is passed around as a value just fine
--- it isn't created or tested as part of an overflow.

Interesting. I didn't know that, but in the float4pl() function,
because the overflow tests and result is float4, what value is there to
doing things as double --- as soon as the float4 maximum is exceeded, we
throw an error?

Infinity is what you are *supposed* to get, per IEEE spec.

No, because you are still comparing against FLOAT4_MAX. I'm suggesting
that only an actual infinity should be rejected. Even that is contrary
to IEEE spec, though.

The other problem with this coding technique is that it must invoke
isinf three times when the typical case really only requires one (if the
output isn't inf there is no need to perform isinf on the inputs).
If we're going to check for overflow at all, I think we should lose the
subroutine and just do

if (isinf(result) &&
!(isinf(arg1) || isinf(arg2)))
ereport(...OVERFLOW...);

This is useful for underflows.

float a=1e-30;
float b=1e-30;
double r1=a*b;
double r2=(double)a*b;

r1 is zero and underflow is lost.
r2 is not zero and underflow is detected.

In float4mul() and float4div(), the computation should be double precision.

In float4pl() and float4mi(), it depends on the ability of the hardware
to generate denormalized numbers. If denormalized numbers are generated,
float vs double makes no difference. If denormalized numbers are not
generated (zero is generated), then double computation is safer.

Another way to detect underflows, overflows and other junk is to use FPU
status flags after each computation. Performance will likely suffer.

#include <fenv.h>

Datum
float4mul(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
float4 arg1 = PG_GETARG_FLOAT4(0);
float4 arg2 = PG_GETARG_FLOAT4(1);
float4 result;
int fe_exceptions;
feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
result = arg1 * arg2;
fe_exceptions=fetestexcept(FE_DIVBYZERO,FE_INVALID,FE_OVERFLOW,FE_UNDERFLOW);
if (fe_exceptions) handle_exceptions(fe_exceptions); //??
PG_RETURN_FLOAT4(result);
}

Yet another way to detect exceptions is to remove all CheckFloat4Val(),
CheckFloat8Val(), isnan(), unmask FPU exceptions and install an exception handler.
Might have portability difficulties. Comparisons of NaNs must be done in
non-IEEE way (FPU does not compare NaNs, it generates exceptions).

You are right provided that you want to ignore underflows and silently
produce zeros instead.

If you go this way, I recommend to ignore overflows as well, and silently
produce infinities and NaNs.

One issue is in the patch comment:

	+    *  such tests would probably not be reliable.

For overflow, it doesn't matter, but by using float8, you have a much
larger range until you underflow to zero. I will make adjustments to
the patch to use this, and add comments explaining its purpose.

True for overflow to Infinity, but underflow checking is better for
float4 using float8. See previous email for details.

While IEEE seems fine with that, I don't think this is good for SQL. It
is best to produce a meaningful error. The major issue is that our
current code is buggy because it doesn't have consistent behavior, as
Roman outlined.

I wasn't excited about doing one isinf() call to avoid three, so I just
made a fast isinf() macro:

/* We call isinf() a lot, so we use a fast version in this file */
#define fast_isinf(val) (((val) < DBL_MIN || (val) > DBL_MAX) && isinf(val))

and used that instead of the direct isinf() call. (We do call fabs() in
the Check* routines. Should we be using our own Abs()?) The new patch
also uses float8 for float4 computations, and adds a comment about why
(avoid underflow in some cases).

In looking at the idea of checking for zero as an underflow, I found
most transcendental functions already had such a check, so I moved the check
into the Check*() routines, and added checks for multiplication/division
underflow to zero. The only outstanding uncaught underflow is from
addition/subtraction.

Fewer restrictions, not more. The thrust of what I've been saying
(and I think Roman too) is to trust in the hardware float-arithmetic
implementation to be right. Every time you add an additional "error
check" you are going in the wrong direction.

OK, are you saying that there is a signal we are ignoring for
overflow/underflow, or that we should just silently overflow/underflow
and not throw an error?

Silent underflow is fine with me; it's the norm in most all float
implementations and won't surprise anyone. For overflow I'm OK with
either returning infinity or throwing an error --- but if an error,
it should only be about inf-out-with-non-inf-in, not comparisons to any
artificial MAX/MIN values.

Anyone else have an opinion about this?

My understanding is that you have to actually set flags in the floating
point environment to make overflows, underflows, infinities, NaNs, etc.
raise signals. You might take a look at fenv.h (defined in the C99
spec) for the functions to do this. My apologies if I'm recovering well
trod ground here.

Note that taking a signal on an FP exception is a horribly expensive
proposition- we're talking about hundreds or thousands of clock cycles
here. But it's probably worthwhile vr.s the cost of testing every
floating point result, as generally FP exceptions will be rare (probably
even more rare in database work than in general). So it's probably
worthwhile.

If an underflow is not reported (And thus silently treated as zero), then
it'd make sense for me to deal with overflows in a similar way, and just
return infinity.

The most correct solution would IMHO be to provide a guc variable
"strict_float_semantics" that defaults to "off", meaning that neather
overflow nor underflow reports an error. If the variable was set to on,
_both_ overflow and underflow would be reported.

Just my €0.02

floating point result, as generally FP exceptions will be rare (probably
even more rare in database work than in general). So it's probably
worthwhile.

I think we should probably stay away from relying on signals for this
on portability grounds. The cost of checking the results is small, and
will get smaller if we eliminate or simplify CheckFloat[48]Val as is
being discussed here.

Well, then show me what direction you think is better.

Think about this idea please. This has no INF, NaN or range
checks and detects all "bad" cases with any floating point
math.

The only issue is that a bad case is detected only once.
You need to restart the postmaster. It can be fixed by
re-enabling FP exceptions in the FP exception handler.

OK, are you saying that there is a signal we are ignoring for
overflow/underflow, or that we should just silently overflow/underflow
and not throw an error?

Silent underflow is fine with me; it's the norm in most all float
implementations and won't surprise anyone. For overflow I'm OK with
either returning infinity or throwing an error --- but if an error,
it should only be about inf-out-with-non-inf-in, not comparisons to any
artificial MAX/MIN values.

OK, I am happy to remove the MIN/MAX comparisons. Those were in the
original code.

The attached, updated patch creates a single CHECKFLOATVAL() macro that
does the overflow/underflow comparisons and throws an error. This also
reduces the isinf() calls. Should I be concerned we are now duplicating
the error text in all call sites?

Regression wording modified now that float4/float8 checks are merged. I
haven't update the platform-specific float* expected files yet, but will
on commit.

OK, are you saying that there is a signal we are ignoring for
overflow/underflow, or that we should just silently overflow/underflow
and not throw an error?

Silent underflow is fine with me; it's the norm in most all float
implementations and won't surprise anyone. For overflow I'm OK with
either returning infinity or throwing an error --- but if an error,
it should only be about inf-out-with-non-inf-in, not comparisons to any
artificial MAX/MIN values.

OK, I am happy to remove the MIN/MAX comparisons. Those were in the
original code.

The attached, updated patch creates a single CHECKFLOATVAL() macro that
does the overflow/underflow comparisons and throws an error. This also
reduces the isinf() calls. Should I be concerned we are now duplicating
the error text in all call sites?

Regression wording modified now that float4/float8 checks are merged. I
haven't update the platform-specific float* expected files yet, but will
on commit.

I'm not convinced that you're fixing things so much as doing your best

I think what we should probably consider is removing CheckFloat4Val
and CheckFloat8Val altogether, and just letting the float arithmetic
have its head. Most modern hardware gets float arithmetic right per
spec, and we shouldn't be second-guessing it.

I vote for complete IEEE-compliance. No exceptions with pure floating
point math. Float -> int conversions should reject overflow, INF and
NaN. Float -> numeric conversions should reject INF.

I think we did that in current CVS. Feel free to download a snapshot
from the ftp server and try it out.

A slightly less radical proposal is to reject only the case where
isinf(result) and neither input isinf(); and perhaps likewise with
respect to NaNs.

This might look like another possibility for confusion. For example
INF-INF=NaN.

Yep, that's what we get now.
