	case (/# 0.0 0.0) of r -> ...(=3D=3D# r r)...

and the (=3D=3D# r r) rewrites to True.  Presumably for Float and Double yo=
u don't want that to happen.  So you'd better not use mkRelOpRule for Float=
 and Double relops.  Better define mkFloatingRelOpRule instead, which doesn=
't have the equal-args thing.

| I need some help with my work on ticket #6135. Consider this program:
|=20
| {-# LANGUAGE BangPatterns, MagicHash #-} module Main where
|=20
| import GHC.Exts
|=20
| main =3D print $ nan## =3D=3D## nan##
|   where !(D# nan##) =3D 0.0 / 0.0
|=20
| This prints False, which is a correct implementation of IEEE754
| standard. However when I compile this with my modified compiler that
| uses new comparison primops (they return Int# instead of
| Bool) I get True, whcih obviously is incorrect. I belive that the
| problem lies in this piece of code from prelude/PrelRules.hs:
|=20
| mkRelOpRule :: Name -> (forall a . Ord a =3D> a -> a -> Bool)
|             -> [RuleM CoreExpr] -> Maybe CoreRule mkRelOpRule nm cmp
| extra
|   =3D mkPrimOpRule nm 2 $ rules ++ extra
|   where
|     rules =3D [ binaryLit (\_ -> cmpOp cmp)
|             , equalArgs >>
|               -- x `cmp` x does not depend on x, so
|               -- compute it for the arbitrary value 'True'
|               -- and use that result
|               return (if cmp True True
|                         then trueVal
|                         else falseVal) ]
|=20
| It looks that equalArgs suddenly started to return True, whereas it
| previously returned False. On the other hand in GHCi I get correct
| result (False). Can anyone give me a hint why is this happening?
