I am compiling the following code with icpc 12.1.2 20111128 as on RHEL6 64-bit.
> icpc -O2 -ansi_alias -fPIC test.cc
> ./a.out
(6.95323e-310,0) (5.5, 6.6)
Both results should be (5.5, 6.6).
Here is test.cc:
#include <complex>
#include <iostream>
void badComplex(double x, double y, std::complex<double>& result)
{
result = std::complex<double>(x,y);
}
std::complex<double> goodComplex(double x, double y)
{
std::complex<double> result(x,y);
return result;
}
int main()
{
double x = 5.5;
double y = 5.5;
std::complex<double> badResult;
badComplex(x, y, badResult);
std::complex<double> goodResult = goodComplex(x, y);
std::cerr << badResult << " " << goodResult << std::endl;
return 0;
}
