Math.max(double, double) gives wrong answer when Math.max(-0.0d, 0.0d)

                 Key: HARMONY-6242
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-6242
             Project: Harmony
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Classlib
    Affects Versions: 5.0M10
         Environment: Any, my test environment is x64 Linux with MRP (http://mrp.codehaus.org/)
            Reporter: Ian Rogers
             Fix For: 5.0M11


In the code:

public static double max(double d1, double d2) {
  if (d1 > d2)
    return d1;
  if (d1 < d2)
    return d2;
  /* if either arg is NaN, return NaN */
  if (d1 != d2)
    return Double.NaN;
  /* max( +0.0,-0.0) == +0.0 */
  if (d1 == 0.0 && (d1 != -0.0d || d2 != -0.0d))
    return 0.0;
  return d1;
} 

This test is never true:

  if (d1 == 0.0 && (d1 != -0.0d || d2 != -0.0d))

as 0.0 == -0.0 and d2 must be 0.0 or -0.0. This means that in the case of two 0.0 parameters d1 is returned, which is the incorrect behaviour if d2 is 0.0 and d1 -0.0.

A simple test:

      System.out.println(Math.max(-0.0d, 0.0d));

prints -0.0 with Harmony and 0.0 with a non-Harmony classlib.
