IEEE 754-2008 defines two ways in which tiny results can be detected, "before rounding" (based on the infinite-precision result) and "after rounding" (based on the result when rounded to normal precision as if the exponent range were unbounded). All binary operations on an architecture must use the same choice of how tininess is detected. soft-fp has so far implemented only before-rounding tininess detection. This patch adds support for after-rounding tininess detection. A new macro _FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING is added that sfp-machine.h must define (soft-fp is meant to be self-contained so the existing tininess.h files aren't used here, though the information going in sfp-machine.h has been taken from them). The soft-fp macros dealing with raising underflow exceptions then handle the cases where the choice matters specially, rounding a copy of the input to the appropriate precision to see if a value that's tiny before rounding isn't tiny after rounding. Tested for mips64 using GCC trunk (which now uses soft-fp on MIPS, so supporting exceptions and rounding modes for long double where not previously supported - this is the immediate motivation for doing this patch now) together with (a) a patch to sysdeps/mips/math-tests.h to enable exceptions / rounding modes tests for long double for GCC 4.9 and later, and (b) corresponding changes applied to libgcc's soft-fp and sfp-machine.h files. In the libgcc context this is also tested on x86_64 (also an after-rounding architecture) with testcases for __float128 that I intend to add to the GCC testsuite when updating soft-fp there. (To be clear: this patch does not fix any glibc bugs that were user-visible in past releases, since after-rounding architectures didn't use soft-fp in any affected case with support for floating-point exceptions - so there is no corresponding Bugzilla bug. Rather, it works together with the GCC changes to use soft-fp on MIPS to allow previously absent long double functionality to work properly, and allows soft-fp to be used in glibc on after-rounding architectures in cases where it couldn't previously be used.) * soft-fp/op-common.h (_FP_DECL): Mark exponent as possibly unused. (_FP_PACK_SEMIRAW): Determine tininess based on rounding shifted value if _FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING and unrounded value is in subnormal range. (_FP_PACK_CANONICAL): Determine tininess based on rounding to normal precision if _FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING and unrounded value has largest subnormal exponent. * soft-fp/soft-fp.h [FP_NO_EXCEPTIONS] (_FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING): Undefine and redefine to 0. * sysdeps/aarch64/soft-fp/sfp-machine.h (_FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING): New macro. * sysdeps/alpha/soft-fp/sfp-machine.h (_FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING): Likewise. * sysdeps/arm/soft-fp/sfp-machine.h (_FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING): Likewise. * sysdeps/mips/mips64/soft-fp/sfp-machine.h (_FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING): Likewise. * sysdeps/mips/soft-fp/sfp-machine.h (_FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING): Likewise. * sysdeps/powerpc/soft-fp/sfp-machine.h (_FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING): Likewise. * sysdeps/sh/soft-fp/sfp-machine.h (_FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING): Likewise. * sysdeps/sparc/sparc32/soft-fp/sfp-machine.h (_FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING): Likewise. * sysdeps/sparc/sparc64/soft-fp/sfp-machine.h (_FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING): Likewise. * sysdeps/tile/sfp-machine.h (_FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING): Likewise. |

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 2.6.16 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 i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 m68k-*-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 The code for other CPU configurations supported by volunteers outside of the core glibc maintenance effort is contained in the `ports' add-on, located in the `ports' subdirectory of the source tree. hppa-*-linux-gnu Not currently functional without patches. ia64-*-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., 2000-2013, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
