>Description:
In c++ code sending a float or double value to a std::ostringstream using a << operator causes an illegal instruction. Sending a long double in the same place works.

I find clang++ g++ and g++46 produce the same results so expect this is within libc++.

This bug was found running blender - it is used within the elbeem lib code for fluid sims.

Within gdb the following example code gives -

For float values --
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
0x00000008008e0060 in std::ostream::operator<< (this=0x7fffffffd2c0, __f=100.255997) at ostream.tcc:221
221	ostream.tcc: No such file or directory.
	in ostream.tcc
Current language:  auto; currently c++

For double values --
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
0x00000008008dfe6b in std::ostream::_M_insert<double> (this=0x7fffffffd2c0, __v=100.256) at ostream.tcc:221
221	ostream.tcc: No such file or directory.
	in ostream.tcc
Current language:  auto; currently c++

>How-To-Repeat:
Build the following - clang++ test.cpp - and run

#include <sstream>

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
    std::ostringstream testout;

    // broken
    testout << (float)100.256;

    // broken
    testout << (double)100.256;

    // works
    testout << (long double)100.256;

    // exit nicely if we get here
    return 0;
}
