| Subject | storing and retrieving a double may show a difference? |
| From | chanrasjid@gmail.com |
All values are doubles.
x = *(A + c * width_A + c);
diagonal_A[c] = x;
When diagonal is stored and tested for equality immediately, it tests equal:
c 1, x 103997435021.915, diagonal 103997435021.915
diff 0
But when the diagonal was stored much earlier, an after some blocks of codes, x and diagonal will fail the equality test.
for (c = 0; c < width_A; ++c) {
x = *(A + c * width_A + c);
//diagonal_A[c] = x;
if (x != diagonal_A[c]) {
printf("c %d, x %.15g != diagonal %.15g\n", c, x, diagonal_A[c]);
printf("diff %.15g\n", fabs(x - diagonal_A[c]));
assert(0);
}
c 1, x 103997435021.915 != diagonal 103997435022.047
diff 0.131515502929688
Why a slight difference?
