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.
This patch fixes bug 16354, spurious underflows from cosh when a tiny
argument is passed to expm1 and expm1 correctly underflows although
the final result of cosh should be 1. As noted in that bug, some
cases are latent because of expm1 implementations not raising
underflow (bug 16353), but all the implementations are fixed
similarly. They already contained checks for tiny arguments, but the
checks were too late to avoid underflow from expm1 (although they
would avoid underflow from subsequent squaring of the result of
expm1); they are moved before the expm1 calls.
The thresholds used for considering arguments tiny are not
particularly consistent in how they relate to the precision of the
floating-point format in question. They are, however, all sufficient
to ensure that the round-to-nearest result of cosh is indeed 1 below
the threshold (although sometimes they are smaller than necessary).
But the previous logic did not return 1, but the previously computed 1
+ expm1(abs(x)) value. And the thresholds in the ldbl-128 and
ldbl-128ibm code (0x1p-71L - I suspect 0x3f8b was intended in the code
instead of 0x3fb8 - and (roughly) 0x1p-55L) are not sufficient for
that value to be 1. So by moving the test for tiny arguments, and
consequently returning 1 directly now the expm1 value hasn't been
computed by that point, this patch also fixes bug 17061, the (large
number of ulps) inaccuracy for small arguments in those
implementations. Tests for that bug are duly added.
Tested x86_64 and x86 and ulps updated accordingly. Also tested for
mips64 and powerpc32 to validate the ldbl-128 and ldbl-128ibm changes.
