This runs the attached sed script against these files using
a regex which aggressively matches long double literals
when not obviously part of a comment.
Likewise, 5 digit or less integral constants are replaced
with integer constants, excepting the two cases of 0 used
in large tables, which are also the only integral values
of the form x.0*E0L encountered within these converted
files.
Likewise, -L(x) is transformed into L(-x).
Naturally, the script has a few minor hiccups which are
more clearly remedied via the attached fixup patch. Such
hiccups include, context-sensitive promotion to a real
type, and munging constants inside harder to detect
comment blocks.
Add a layer of macro indirection for long double files
which need to be built using another typename. Likewise,
add the L(num) macro used in a later patch to override
real constants.
These macros are only defined through the ldbl-128
math_ldbl.h header, thereby implicitly restricting
these macros to machines which back long double
with an IEEE binary128 format.
Likewise, appropriate changes are made for the few
files which indirectly include such ldbl-128 files.
These changes produce identical binaries for s390x,
aarch64, and ppc64.
A number of files share identical code for the
mul_split function.
This moves the duplicated function mul_split into its
own header, and refactors the fma usage into a single
selection macro. Likewise, mul_split when used by a
long double implementation is renamed mul_splitl for
clarity.
For arguments with X^2 + Y^2 close to 1, clog and clog10 avoid large
errors from log(hypot) by computing X^2 + Y^2 - 1 in a way that avoids
cancellation error and then using log1p.
However, the thresholds for using that approach still result in log
being used on argument as large as sqrt(13/16) > 0.9, leading to
significant errors, in some cases above the 9ulp maximum allowed in
glibc libm. This patch arranges for the approach using log1p to be
used in any cases where |X|, |Y| < 1 and X^2 + Y^2 >= 0.5 (with the
existing allowance for cases where one of X and Y is very small),
adjusting the __x2y2m1 functions to work with the wider range of
inputs. This way, log only gets used on arguments below sqrt(1/2) (or
substantially above 1), where the error involved is much less.
Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 and powerpc. For the ulps regeneration
I removed the existing clog and clog10 ulps before regenerating to
allow any reduced ulps to appear. Tests added include those found by
random test generation to produce large ulps either before or after
the patch, and some found by trying inputs close to the (0.75, 0.5)
threshold where the potential errors from using log are largest.
