Math.round produces incorrect result for largest representable integer value: Math.round(9007199254740991) ==> returns: 9007199254740992, should be 9007199254740991 also: Math.round(-9007199254740991) ==> returns: -19007199254740990, should be -9007199254740991 Note that 9007199254740991 is the largest value - 1 of the span of continuous integers that are precisely representable using IEEE doubles. It should round to itself. Correct results for values at this boundary are important for some integer numeric algorithms. Tested with same result on Mac using FF4b9 and 3.6.13 and on Windows using 3.6.13. Also, this does not appear to be a numeric literal conversion bug. The problem also occurs if the value is computed (for example: 9007199254740990+1). Finally, note that that the ECMAScript spec. provides the identity that Math.round(x) is the same as Math.floor(x+0.5). While that is mathematically correct it isn't necessarily correct when operating at the precision limit of floating point arithmetic. If the Math.round is implemented using that identify, it may be the source of the problem. Finally, note that both Safari and Chrome produce the correct answer.

And in particular: 584 js_math_round_impl(jsdouble x) 585 { 586 return js_copysign(floor(x + 0.5), x);

V8 checks if exponent is greater or equal 52, and in this case just returns the number.

http://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/6f31489f62d6 Arg this is a follow up for this bug, but I failed and somehow copied Bug 582841.

http://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/504f00e1124e Backed out, because of test failures and general stupidy surrounding this landing. Going to investigate, but in theory the inlined Math.round method doesn't match anymore.

So well, no idea how I didn't catch that :/ But the mistake is rather obvious when you think about it, I didn't really extract the exponent.

Comment on attachment 584291 [details] [diff] [review] v2 This should probably get review from someone competent, since it seems my assumption about how much I know about this was wrong.
