            Bug ID: 108856
           Summary: floating-point-exceptions in gallium/auxiliary/tgsi/
                    functions
           Product: Mesa
           Version: 18.2
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Drivers/OSMesa
          Assignee: mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: popi...@basilisk.fr
        QA Contact: mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org

Calling the gallium osmesa implementation generates multiple floating-point
exceptions.

For example the src/gallium/auxiliary/tgsi/tgsi_exec.c:554, micro_rsq()
function contains the code:

   dst->f[0] = 1.0f / sqrtf(src->f[0]);

and is sometimes called with src->f[0] == 0.

This is an important issue for (scientific) codes which typically turn
floating-point-exceptions on.

A workaround is to turn FPE off before each GL/OSmesa call and turn them back
on after.

Note that the non-gallium OSMesa implementation does not have this issue.
