An i32 min / -1 and an f32 cast out of range. The first is where the two
backends disagreed silently rather than both dying -- x86 divided in 64 bits
and truncated on the store, answering -2147483648, where LLVM emitted poison --
and it is the only case that exercises the widening on the way into the
condition, so a bug there would have left every other row passing. The second
is the one place the two backends reach the same answer by deliberately
different routes, f32 bounds here and widened doubles there, and the survey is
what says the routes agree.
Three arithmetic situations had no defined behaviour and the two backends
disagreed about all three: a divide or remainder by zero, which was a raw
SIGFPE with no message and no location; (/ min -1), whose quotient is one past
the top of the type; and a float to integer cast whose value does not fit,
which LLVM called undefined and would fold to anything.
They now signal ArithError with `error`, exactly as a bad index signals
BoundsError, and die with a sentence naming the file, the line and the operands
only if nothing answered. The guards ride the same --checks flag as the bounds
check and are elided with it.
No restart is established at the failing operation. The sketch this started
from asked for use-value, and the implementation ruled it out: a restart frame
is allocated by the restart-case that offers it, on its own stack, so the
runtime cannot hold one on a program's behalf and use-value here would mean an
alloca and a restart frame at every division in every checked build. That is
the cost already refused for indexing, buying a silently different answer.
The x86 backend is unchanged and is the next commit.
