Hi all,

serinus has been complaining about the new gcd functions in 13~:
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=serinus&dt=2021-06-03%2003%3A44%3A14

The overflow detection is going wrong the way up and down, like here:
SELECT gcd((-9223372036854775808)::int8, (-9223372036854775808)::int8); -- overflow
-ERROR: bigint out of range
+ gcd
+----------------------
+ -9223372036854775808
+(1 row)

That seems like a compiler bug to me as this host uses recent GCC
snapshots, and I cannot see a problem in GCC 10.2 on my own dev box.
But perhaps I am missing something?

Thanks,
--
Michael
