Julia negative Exponentiation conflicts with emitted llvm code [BUG]

[rahulghangas]

3^(-5) gives a Float64 of value 0.004115226337448558

while

@code_llvm ^(3, -5) emits the following llvm code

;  @ intfuncs.jl:221 within `^'
define i64 @"julia_^_11097"(i64, i64) {
top:
  %2 = call i64 @julia_power_by_squaring_990(i64 %0, i64 %1)
  ret i64 %2
}

which indicates that the function has an integer return type.

The output of versioninfo() is as follows-

Dup of #21014

Hi, sorry but I'm having trouble seeing how this is a duplicate of the aforementioned issue. Can you explain?

[yuyichao]

The macro isn't showing you the correct function.

Right, Thanks
