The ldbl-128ibm implementation of nearbyintl wrongly uses signaling
comparisons such as "if (fabs (u.d[0].d) < TWO52)" on arguments that
might be NaNs, when "invalid" exceptions should not be raised. (For
hard float, this issue may be hidden by
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58684>, powerpc GCC
wrongly only using unordered comparison instructions.) This patch
fixes this by just returning the argument if it is not finite (because
of the arbitrary value of the low part of a NaN in IBM long double,
there are quite a lot of comparisons that could end up involving a NaN
when the argument to nearbyintl is a NaN, so excluding NaN arguments
at the start is the simplest and safest fix).
Tested for powerpc-nofpu, where it removes failures for spurious
"invalid" exceptions from nearbyintl.
[BZ #18857]
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_nearbyintl.c (__nearbyintl): Just
return non-finite argument without doing ordered comparisons on
it.
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 2.6.32 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

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
