There are various bits/huge_val*.h headers to define HUGE_VAL and
related macros. All of them use __builtin_huge_val etc. for GCC 3.3
and later. Then there are various fallbacks, such as using a large
hex float constant for GCC 2.96 and later, or using unions (with or
without compound literals) to construct the bytes of an infinity, with
this last being the reason for having architecture-specific files.
Supporting TS 18661-3 _FloatN / _FloatNx types that have the same
format as other supported types will mean adding more such macros;
needing to add more headers for them doesn't seem very desirable.
The fallbacks based on bytes of the representation of an infinity do
not meet the standard requirements for a constant expression. At
least one of them is also wrong: sysdeps/sh/bits/huge_val.h is
producing a mixed-endian representation which does not match what GCC
does.
This patch eliminates all those headers, defining the macros directly
in math.h. For GCC 3.3 and later, the built-in functions are used as
now. For other compilers, a large constant 1e10000 (with appropriate
suffix) is used. This is like the fallback for GCC 2.96 and later,
but without using hex floats (which have no apparent advantage here).
It is unambiguously valid standard C for all floating-point formats
with infinities, which covers all formats supported by glibc or likely
to be supported by glibc in future (C90 DR#025 said that if a
floating-point format represents infinities, all real values lie
within the range of representable values, so the constraints for
constant expressions are not violated), but may generate compiler
warnings and wouldn't handle the TS 18661-1 FENV_ROUND pragma
correctly. If someone is actually using a compiler with glibc that
does not claim to be GCC 3.3 or later, but which has a better way to
define the HUGE_VAL macros, we can always add compiler conditionals in
with alternative definitions.
I intend to make similar changes for INF and NAN. The SNAN macros
already just use __builtin_nans etc. with no fallback for compilers
not claiming to be GCC 3.3 or later.
Tested for x86_64.

Information about whether the ABI of long double is the same as that
of double is split between bits/mathdef.h and bits/wordsize.h.
When the ABIs are the same, bits/mathdef.h defines
__NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH. In addition, in the case where the same glibc
binary supports both -mlong-double-64 and -mlong-double-128,
bits/wordsize.h defines __LONG_DOUBLE_MATH_OPTIONAL, along with
__NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH if this particular compilation is with
-mlong-double-64.
As part of the refactoring I proposed in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-11/msg00745.html>, this
patch puts all that information in a single header,
bits/long-double.h. It is included from sys/cdefs.h alongside the
include of bits/wordsize.h, so other headers generally do not need to
include bits/long-double.h directly.
Previously, various bits/mathdef.h headers and bits/wordsize.h headers
had this long double information (including implicitly in some
bits/mathdef.h headers through not having the defines present in the
default version). After the patch, it's all in six bits/long-double.h
headers. Furthermore, most of those new headers are not
architecture-specific. Architectures with optional long double all
use the ldbl-opt sysdeps directory, either in the order (ldbl-64-128,
ldbl-opt, ldbl-128) or (ldbl-128ibm, ldbl-opt). Thus a generic header
for the case where long double = double, and headers in ldbl-128,
ldbl-96 and ldbl-opt, suffices to cover every architecture except for
cases where long double properties vary between different ABIs sharing
a set of installed headers; fortunately all the ldbl-opt cases share a
single compiler-predefined macro __LONG_DOUBLE_128__ that can be used
to tell whether this compilation is -mlong-double-64 or
-mlong-double-128.
The two cases where a set of headers is shared between ABIs with
different long double properties, MIPS (o32 has long double = double,
other ABIs use ldbl-128) and SPARC (32-bit has optional long double,
64-bit has required long double), need their own bits/long-double.h
headers.
As with bits/wordsize.h, multiple-include protection for this header
is generally implicit through the include guards on sys/cdefs.h, and
multiple inclusion is harmless in any case. There is one subtlety:
the header must not define __LONG_DOUBLE_MATH_OPTIONAL if
__NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH was defined before its inclusion, because doing
so breaks how sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-opt/nldbl-compat.h defines
__NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH itself before including system headers. Subject
to keeping that working, it would be reasonable to move these macros
from defined/undefined #ifdef to always-defined 1/0 #if semantics, but
this patch does not attempt to do so, just rearranges where the macros
are defined.
After this patch, the only use of bits/mathdef.h is the alpha one for
modifying complex function ABIs for old GCC. Thus, all versions of
the header other than the default and alpha versions are removed, as
is the include from math.h.
Tested for x86_64 and x86. Also did compilation-only testing with
build-many-glibcs.py.

Continuing the refactoring of bits/mathdef.h, this patch stops it
defining FP_ILOGB0 and FP_ILOGBNAN, moving the required information to
a new header bits/fp-logb.h.
There are only two possible values of each of those macros permitted
by ISO C. TS 18661-1 adds corresponding macros for llogb, and their
values are required to correspond to those of the ilogb macros in the
obvious way. Thus two boolean values - for which the same choices are
correct for most architectures - suffice to determine the value of all
these macros, and by defining macros for those boolean values in
bits/fp-logb.h we can then define the public FP_* macros in math.h and
avoid the present duplication of the associated feature test macro
logic.
This patch duly moves to bits/fp-logb.h defining __FP_LOGB0_IS_MIN and
__FP_LOGBNAN_IS_MIN. Default definitions of those to 0 are correct
for both architectures, while ia64, m68k and x86 get their own
versions of bits/fp-logb.h to reflect their use of values different
from the defaults.
The patch renders many copies of bits/mathdef.h trivial (needed only
to avoid the default __NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH). I'll revise
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-11/msg00865.html>
accordingly so that it removes all bits/mathdef.h headers except the
default one and the alpha one, and arranges for the header to be
included only by complex.h as the only remaining use at that point
will be for the alpha ABI issues there.
Tested for x86_64 and x86. Also did compile-only testing with
build-many-glibcs.py (using glibc sources from before the commit that
introduced many build failures with undefined __GI___sigsetjmp).

At present, definitions of float_t and double_t are split among many
bits/mathdef.h headers.
For all but three architectures, these types are float and double.
Furthermore, if you assume __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ to be defined, that
provides a more generic way of determining the correct values of these
typedefs. Defining these typedefs more generally based on
__FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ was previously proposed by Paul Eggert in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-02/msg00002.html>.
This patch refactors things in the way I proposed in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-11/msg00745.html>. A new
header bits/flt-eval-method.h defines a single macro,
__GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD, which is then used by math.h to define
float_t and double_t. The default is based on __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__
(although actually a default to 0 would have the same effect for
current ports, because ports where values other than 0 or 16 are
possible all have their own headers).
To avoid changing the existing semantics in any case, including for
compilers not defining __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__, architecture-specific
files are then added for m68k, s390, x86 which replicate the existing
semantics. At least with __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ values possible with
GCC, there should be no change to the choices of float_t and double_t
for any supported configuration.
Architecture maintainer notes:
* m68k: sysdeps/m68k/m680x0/bits/flt-eval-method.h always defines
__GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 2 to replicate the existing logic. But
actually GCC defines __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ to 0 if TARGET_68040. It
might make sense to make the header prefer to base things on
__FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ if defined, like the x86 version, and so make
the choices of these types more accurate (with a NEWS entry as for
the other changes to these types on particular architectures).
* s390: sysdeps/s390/bits/flt-eval-method.h always defines
__GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 1 to replicate the existing logic. As
previously discussed, it might make sense in coordination with GCC
to eliminate the historic mistake, avoid excess precision in the
-fexcess-precision=standard case and make the typedefs match (with a
NEWS entry, again).
