Exponent adjustment discards the mantissa sign · case 04
Exponent adjustment discards the mantissa sign.
Case contract
Recompose finite binary64 x after changing its exponent by integer shift. Return hex value, or signed overflow marker. Scaling preserves negative zero and gradual underflow. Inputs exclude NaN and infinity.
Why this case matters
An offline floating representation model isolates a reproducible arithmetic fault.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
