What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
go1.18.2 linux/arm64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

What did you do?

package main

import "runtime"

func main() {
	var f64 float64 = -2.99

	println(runtime.GOARCH)
	println("casting float64 to uint64 given negative num", f64, uint64(f64))
}

amd64 result:

amd64
casting float64 to uint64 given negative num -2.990000e+000 18446744073709551614

arm64 result:

arm64
casting float64 to uint64 given negative num -2.990000e+000 0

What did you expect to see?

The behavior of casting a negative float to unsigned int should be the same on different platforms, just like rust.

What did you see instead?

var x float64 = -2.99
uint64(x) == 0

The spec says (https://go.dev/ref/spec#Conversions)

In all non-constant conversions involving floating-point or complex values, if the result type cannot represent the value the conversion succeeds but the result value is implementation-dependent.

This works as intended. Thanks.
