DAZ is cleared after ippsSqrt_32f() is called

[hongqiu]

At the begining of my program, I set the DAZ flag.
In my program, I use many IPP floating functions.
But I find DAZ is cleared after ippsSqrt_32f() is called.
The input data of ippsSqrt_32f() is not denormal dat.
I wonder whetherippsSqrt_32f() will turn off the DAZ flag?

If I write a very easy program which have only done DAZ setting,ippsSqrt_32f() and _mm_getcsr.
The DAZ will not be cleared.
It is so strange. Can anyone help me?

I use _mm_getcsr to see the DAZ flag.
The IPP version I used is 6.1.2.051/IA32.

Hello,

Our engineer owner will have a check about this function. Anyway, if you could provide a test code, it will help much to investigate the problem.

Thanks,

Hi,

The engineer owner identified a bug about function, it will be fixed in the future versions. Thanks for your report.

I confirm this. I never saw that because I also have FTZ set. I'm the one who once pointed that IppsSqrt didn't like denormals at all (output was garbage), so most likely this flaw resulted from the fix.

Hello,

for these who use the function:this problem was fixed inIPP 7.0 gold release.

Thanks,
