Joseph Myers 423c2b9d08 Add fromfp functions.
TS 18661-1 defines fromfp functions (fromfp, fromfpx, ufromfp,
ufromfpx, and float and long double variants) to convert from
floating-point to an integer type with any signedness and any given
width up to that of intmax_t, in any of the five IEEE rounding modes
(the usual four for binary floating point, plus rounding to nearest
with ties rounding away from zero), with control of whether in-range
non-integer values should result in the "inexact" exception being
raised.  This patch implements these functions for glibc.

These implementations are (apart from raising exceptions) pure integer
implementations; it's entirely possible optimized versions could be
devised for some architectures.  A common math/fromfp.h header
provides various common helper code that can readily be shared between
the implementations for different types.  For each type, the bulk of
the implementation is also shared between the four functions, with
wrappers that define UNSIGNED and INEXACT macros appropriately before
including the main implementation.

As the functions return intmax_t and uintmax_t without math.h being
allowed to expose those typedef names, they are declared using
__intmax_t and __uintmax_t as obtained from <bits/types.h>.

The FP_INT_* rounding direction macros are defined as ascending
integers in the order the names are listed in the TS; I see no
significant value in allowing architectures to vary the values of
them.

The libm-test machinery is duly adapted to handle unsigned int
arguments, and intmax_t and uintmax_t results.  Because each test
input is generally tested for four functions, five rounding modes and
several different widths, the libm-test.inc additions are very large.
Thus, the diffs in the body of this message exclude the libm-test.inc
changes, with the full patch being attached gzipped.  The bulk of the
new tests were generated (expanded from a test input plus rounding
results and information about where it lies in the relevant interval
between integers, to libm-test tests for all relevant combinations of
function, rounding direction and width) by a script that's included in
the patch as math/gen-fromfp-tests.py (input data
math/gen-fromfp-tests-inputs); as an ad hoc script that's not really
expected to be rerun, it's not very polished, but it's at least
plausibly useful for adding any further tests for these functions in
future.  I may split the libm-test tests up by function in future (so
both libm-test.inc and auto-libm-test-out are split into separate
files, and the tests for each function are also built and run
separately), but not for 2.25.

For no obvious reason, adding tgmath tests for the new functions
resulted in -Wuninitialized errors from test-tgmath.c about the
variable i being used uninitialized.  Those errors were correct - the
variable is read by the frexp version in test-tgmath.c (where real
frexp would write through that pointer instead of reading it) - but I
don't know why this patch would result in the pre-existing issue being
newly detected.  The patch initializes the variable to avoid those
errors.

With these changes, glibc 2.25 should have all the library features
from TS 18661-1 other than the functions that round result to narrower
type (and constant rounding directions, but I'm considering those
mainly a compiler feature not a library one).

Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 and powerpc.

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.

The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system.  It provides the
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.

In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.

The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu.  The current
GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be
incorporated into an official GNU C Library release.

When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later on all architectures except
i[4567]86 and x86_64, where Linux kernel version 2.6.32 or later
suffices.

Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.

The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:

	aarch64*-*-linux-gnu
	alpha*-*-linux-gnu
	arm-*-linux-gnueabi
	hppa-*-linux-gnu	Not currently functional without patches.
	i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu
	x86_64-*-linux-gnu	Can build either x86_64 or x32
	ia64-*-linux-gnu
	m68k-*-linux-gnu
	microblaze*-*-linux-gnu
	mips-*-linux-gnu
	mips64-*-linux-gnu
	powerpc-*-linux-gnu	Hardware or software floating point, BE only.
	powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu	Big-endian and little-endian.
	s390-*-linux-gnu
	s390x-*-linux-gnu
	sh[34]-*-linux-gnu
	sparc*-*-linux-gnu
	sparc64*-*-linux-gnu
	tilegx-*-linux-gnu
	tilepro-*-linux-gnu

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more
information.

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
the GNU C Library.  You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.

The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
found in the `manual/' subdirectory.  The manual is still being updated
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like.  For
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
following the bug-reporting instructions below.  Please be sure to check
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
already been corrected.

Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
information.  We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.

The GNU C Library is free software.  See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
these additional notices to be distributed.  License copyright years may be
listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in
the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed
individually.
