           Summary: 64-bit floating-point issue with negative zero: -0.0
                    == 0.0 is false.

Test case:

----------------------
void main()
{
    auto p = -0.0;
    assert(p == 0);
}
----------------------

Running the program with -m64 caused an Assertion failure. (This works in
32-bit.)

An equivalent test which also fails in 64-bit:

----------------------
void main()
{
    double p = -0.0;
    assert(p == -0.0);
}
----------------------

The problem is that, when comparing with 0.0 or -0.0, the backend will generate an integer 'cmp' instruction, but -0.0 has a different bit pattern than 0.0, so the equality will fail.

     cmp    QWORD PTR [rbp-0x8],0x0
     je     ...

The code works if the type is 'float' because it uses an 'add eax, eax' trick make both 0.0f and -0.0f set the ZF flag.

This code also work if the type if 'real' because it uses x87.

I think 0.0 == -0.0, but 0.0 !is -0.0.

Fix issue 7546 64-bit floating-point issue with negative zero: -0.0 == 0.0 is
false

Just duplicate the code for float == float.
