This bug relates to a corner case in complex floating point support, =
which GCC in base doesn't get right either, and which affects a tiny =
proportion of users and which comes with a hypothetical test case but no =
evidence that any real-world code is affected by it.  If you have some =
real-world code that is compiled correctly by GCC but incorrectly by =
clang as a result of this, then please update the bug.

Oh, and it's worth noting that clang, as an extension, supports using =
initialiser lists to create complex values and so this particular case =
is trivial to avoid if you use this feature, which you will if you =
create complex numbers using the macro that the C specification =
introduced specifically to avoid this case. =20
