[ts-7000] Corruption of Float values in Java

["tedapt" <>]

Hi,

I'm experiencing a problem with JamVM on a TS-7250 in which some float
values are corrupted.  

I can reproduce the problem if I run the following Java program:

public class Test {
   public static void main(String[] args){
      float a, b, c;
      a = 45f;
      b = 10f;
      c = a/b;
      System.out.println("" + c + " = " + a + "/" + b);
   }
}

   :root# /usr/bin/jamvm -cp . Test
   4.000007 = 45.0/10.0

As you can see, the result ought to be 4.5, not 4.000007.  With other
testing, I see odd float values, like ".005:389" for example.

I am using this version of JamVM:

   :root# jamvm -version
   java version "1.4.2"
   JamVM version 1.4.4

Executing the same code on a Windows JVM produce the correct result of
4.5.

Similarly, executing the following C program produces the correct
result, so the problem only manifests in Java:

void main(void) {

         float a,b,c;
         a=45.0;
         b=10.0;
         c=a/b;
         printf("%f=%f/%f\n",c,a,b);

}

   :root# gcc t.c -o t
   t.c: In function `main':
   t.c:1: warning: return type of `main' is not `int'
   :root# ./t
   4.500000=45.000000/10.000000

Any ideas?

Thanks very much,

Ted
