The ldbl-96 implementation of scalblnl (used for x86_64 and ia64) uses
a condition k <= -63 to determine when a standard underflowing result
tiny*__copysignl(tiny,x) should be returned. However, that condition
corresponds to values with exponent -16446 or less, and in the case of
-16446, the correct result for round-to-nearest depends on whether the
value is exactly 0x1p-16446 (half the least subnormal) or more than
that. This patch fixes the bug by changing the condition to k <= -64
and accordingly adjusting the exponent by 64 not 63 when converting to
a normal value.
Tested for x86_64.
[BZ #17803]
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-96/s_scalblnl.c (twom63): Rename to
twom64. Adjust value to 0x1p-64L.
(__scalblnl): Only return standard underflowing result for K <=
-64 not K <= -63; adjust exponent for underflowing result by 64
not 63.
* math/libm-test.inc (scalbn_test_data): Add more tests.
(scalbln_test_data): Likewise.
The ldbl-96 implementation of scalblnl (used for x86_64 and ia64) is
incorrect for subnormal arguments (this is a separate bug from bug
17803, which is about underflowing results). There are two problems
with the adjustments of subnormal arguments: the "two63" variable
multiplied by is actually 0x1p52L not 0x1p63L, so is insufficient to
make values normal, and then GET_LDOUBLE_EXP(es,x), used to extract
the new exponent, extracts it into a variable that isn't used, while
the value taken to by the new exponent is wrongly taken from the high
part of the mantissa before the adjustment (hx). This patch fixes
both those problems and adds appropriate tests.
Tested for x86_64.
[BZ #17834]
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-96/s_scalblnl.c (two63): Change value to
0x1p63L.
(__scalblnl): Get new exponent of adjusted subnormal value from ES
not HX.
* math/libm-test.inc (scalbn_test_data): Add more tests.
(scalbln_test_data): Likewise.
Errno is not set and the testcases will fail.
Now the scalbln-aliases are removed in i386/m68
and the wrappers are used when calling the scalbln-functions.
On ia64 only scalblnf has its own implementation.
For scalbln and scalblnl the ieee754/dbl-64 and ieee754/ldbl-96 are used, thus
the wrappers are needed, too.
