           Summary: Initialising out float parameter causes FPU exception
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD

The following short code snippet causes slow code caused by FPU exception:

float f;
func(f);

void func(out float ff) {
ff = 1;
}

The following code is produced for the function:

func  LABEL NEAR
push    ebp
mov     ebp, esp
push    eax
fld     dword ptr [_nan]
fstp    dword ptr [eax]
fld     dword ptr [_one]
fstp    dword ptr [eax]
mov     esp, ebp
pop     ebp
ret

It appears that in DMD2 a float NaN is 0x7FE00000 (in dword format) but when it
initialises a float 'out' parameter it
initialises it with 0x7FA00000. This causes an FPU trap which unnecessarily
eats up around 250 ticks.

I had a quick look at doubles too. This uses 7FF4000000000000 to initialise a double out parameter which also traps the FPU.

I see no such behavior, float is initialized with 7FC0.
