Joseph Myers a60eca2e55 Simplify HUGE_VAL definitions.
There are various bits/huge_val*.h headers to define HUGE_VAL and
related macros.  All of them use __builtin_huge_val etc. for GCC 3.3
and later.  Then there are various fallbacks, such as using a large
hex float constant for GCC 2.96 and later, or using unions (with or
without compound literals) to construct the bytes of an infinity, with
this last being the reason for having architecture-specific files.
Supporting TS 18661-3 _FloatN / _FloatNx types that have the same
format as other supported types will mean adding more such macros;
needing to add more headers for them doesn't seem very desirable.

The fallbacks based on bytes of the representation of an infinity do
not meet the standard requirements for a constant expression.  At
least one of them is also wrong: sysdeps/sh/bits/huge_val.h is
producing a mixed-endian representation which does not match what GCC
does.

This patch eliminates all those headers, defining the macros directly
in math.h.  For GCC 3.3 and later, the built-in functions are used as
now.  For other compilers, a large constant 1e10000 (with appropriate
suffix) is used.  This is like the fallback for GCC 2.96 and later,
but without using hex floats (which have no apparent advantage here).
It is unambiguously valid standard C for all floating-point formats
with infinities, which covers all formats supported by glibc or likely
to be supported by glibc in future (C90 DR#025 said that if a
floating-point format represents infinities, all real values lie
within the range of representable values, so the constraints for
constant expressions are not violated), but may generate compiler
warnings and wouldn't handle the TS 18661-1 FENV_ROUND pragma
correctly.  If someone is actually using a compiler with glibc that
does not claim to be GCC 3.3 or later, but which has a better way to
define the HUGE_VAL macros, we can always add compiler conditionals in
with alternative definitions.

I intend to make similar changes for INF and NAN.  The SNAN macros
already just use __builtin_nans etc. with no fallback for compilers
not claiming to be GCC 3.3 or later.

Tested for x86_64.

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.

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.
