The previous (11th) version of the Hungarian spelling rules (released
in 1984) said that the separator had to be a dot, e.g. 10.35 meaning
10 o'clock 35 minutes. glibc correctly implements this.
The brand new (12th) version, in effect since September 1, 2015 adopts
to the common use of colon (especially in the digital world) and
allows to use either separator, without even expressing a preference.
For computer systems, using colons is way more typical and probably
easier to recognize. Dot is typically used in printed materials.
It also avoids an almost ambiguous situation where a space makes a
difference, e.g. "10.15-ig" means "until 10 o'clock 15 minutes"
whereas "10. 15-ig" means "until 15th of October". So I believe using
the colon as the separator is not only more frequent in the computer
world, but is also easier and quicker to recognize for the brain that
it's about hour:minute rather than month and day. And luckily it's now
equally correct according to the official rules.
11th edition: http://helyesiras.mta.hu/helyesiras/default/akh11
12th edition: http://helyesiras.mta.hu/helyesiras/default/akh12
In both editions it's the very last (299th and 300th, respectively) rule.
Microsoft also uses and recommends a colon since at least May 2011:

The time format is different in common language and in the language of
IT. In common texts we usually do not abbreviate, so the full forms are
used: “7 óra 10 perckor csörgött a telefon”. However, the short format,
consisting of numerals only, can also be used. In this case a period
must be used between the two numbers and there must not be a space
between them: “találkozzunk 10.45-kor”.
However, in software mostly the short format is used, and the numbers
are separated by a colon. An obvious example is the clock in the bottom
right corner of your screen, thus 18:31.

This patch adds more tests for ceil, floor, round and trunc, with a
particular focus on verifying they don't raise spurious "inexact"
exceptions for integer arguments (a C99 / C11 requirement, as opposed
to the general principle that they shouldn't raise "inexact" for any
arguments at all which is a TS 18661-1 requirement).

sysdeps/nptl/configure.ac has code to give errors if certain tests in
the top-level configure failed. However, all those failure conditions
also produce errors in the top-level configure, so the errors in the
NPTL configure are completely redundant; this patch removes them.
(As suggested in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-10/msg00510.html>, I think
the top-level tests in question can be completely removed as
unnecessary given the version tests. But even without that there is
clearly no point in duplicating code that gives an error if the test
fails.)

I noticed that glibc testsuite runs left several files behind in /tmp
(or TMPDIR, if different). The problem was testcases that generate a
template for mkstemp / mkstemp64, ending with XXXXXX, then pass that
template to add_temp_file before calling mkstemp / mkstemp64, meaning
that the template ending with XXXXXX is stored in the list of
temporary files to delete (add_temp_file uses strdup so that the
original string doesn't need to stay live), not the actual filename as
determined by mkstemp / mkstemp64. This patch fixes those tests to
call add_temp_file later.
Tested for x86_64 (that the files are no longer left behind by a
testsuite run and the modified tests still pass).

With TLE enabled, the adapt count variable update incurs
an 8% overhead before entering the critical section of an

Only i386 implements epoll_pwait in assembly code withot cancellation
support. All other architectures implement epoll_pwait in epoll_pwait.c
with
int epoll_pwait (int epfd, struct epoll_event *events,
int maxevents, int timeout,
const sigset_t *set)
{
return SYSCALL_CANCEL (epoll_pwait, epfd, events, maxevents,
timeout, set, _NSIG / 8);
}
Although there is no test for epoll_pwait in glibc, since SYSCALL_CANCEL
works on i386 and epoll_pwait.c works for other architectures, it is
safe to assume that epoll_pwait.c with SYSCALL_CANCEL also works on
i386.
[BZ #19137]

The powerpc32 implementation of lround and lroundf can produce
spurious exceptions from adding 0.5 then converting to integer. This
includes "inexact" from the conversion to integer (not allowed for
integer arguments to these functions), and, for larger integer
arguments, "inexact", and "overflow" when rounding upward, from the
addition. In addition, "inexact" is not allowed together with
"invalid" and so inexact addition must be avoided when the integer
will be out of range of 32-bit long, whether or not the argument is an
integer.
This patch fixes these problems. As in the powerpc64 llround
implementation, a check is added for too-large arguments; in the
powerpc64 case that means arguments at least 2^52 in magnitude (so
that 0.5 cannot be added exactly), while in this case it means
arguments for which the result would overflow "long". In those cases
a suitable overflowing value is used for the integer conversion
without adding 0.5, while for smaller arguments it's tested whether
the argument is an integer (by adding and subtracting 2^52 to the
absolute value and comparing with the original absolute value) to
avoid adding 0.5 to integers and generating spurious "inexact".
This code is not used when the power5+ sysdeps directories are used,
as there's a separate power5+ version of these functions..
Tested for powerpc. This gets test-float (for a default powerpc32
hard-float build without any --with-cpu) back to the point where it
should pass once powerpc ulps are regenerated; test-double still needs
another problem with exceptions fixed to get back to that point (and I
haven't looked lately at what default powerpc64 results are like).

The powerpc32 implementations of llroundf and llround produce spurious
and missing exceptions (some arising from such exceptions from
conversions to long long, some present even when fctidz is used).
This patch fixes those problems in a similar way to the llrint /
llrintf fixes. The spurious exceptions in the fctidz case for large
arguments arise from a converted value that saturated as LLONG_MAX
being converted back to float or double (the conversion back being
inexact, but "inexact" must not be raised together with "invalid"),
and from the subtraction x - xrf also being inexact for sufficiently
large arguments (whether the saturation was to LLONG_MAX or
LLONG_MIN); those are fixed by returning early if the argument is
large enough that no rounding is needed.
This code is not used for --with-cpu=power4 builds (I suspect the code
used in that case may also produce spurious "inexact" exceptions, but
that's something to investigate later).
Tested for powerpc.
