Subject: BUG REPORT: unexpected floating point behavior


Consider the following unexpected output of a simple loop that increments a
floating value by 0.1 at every iteration:


#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

  float x;

  for (x = 0; x < 4; x += 0.1f) {
    printf("x=%f\n", x);
  }

  return 0;
}


------------------

x=0.000000
x=0.100000
x=0.200000
x=0.300000
x=0.400000
x=0.500000
x=0.600000
x=0.700000
x=0.800000
x=0.900000
x=1.000000
