In non-default rounding modes, tgamma can be slightly less accurate than permitted by glibc's accuracy goals. Part of the problem is error accumulation, addressed in this patch by setting round-to-nearest for internal computations. However, there was also a bug in the code dealing with computing pow (x + n, x + n) where x + n is not exactly representable, providing another source of error even in round-to-nearest mode; it was necessary to address both bugs to get errors for all testcases within glibc's accuracy goals. Given this second fix, accuracy in round-to-nearest mode is also improved (hence regeneration of ulps for tgamma should be from scratch - truncate libm-test-ulps or at least remove existing tgamma entries - so that the expected ulps can be reduced). Some additional complications also arose. Certain tgamma tests should strictly, according to IEEE semantics, overflow or not depending on the rounding mode; this is beyond the scope of glibc's accuracy goals for any function without exactly-determined results, but gen-auto-libm-tests doesn't handle being lax there as it does for underflow. (libm-test.inc also doesn't handle being lax about whether the result in cases very close to the overflow threshold is infinity or a finite value close to overflow, but that doesn't cause problems in this case though I've seen it cause problems with random test generation for some functions.) Thus, spurious-overflow markings, with a comment, are added to auto-libm-test-in (no bug in Bugzilla because the issue is with the testsuite, not a user-visible bug in glibc). And on x86, after the patch I saw ERANGE issues as previously reported by Carlos (see my commentary in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-01/msg00485.html>), which needed addressing by ensuring excess range and precision were eliminated at various points if FLT_EVAL_METHOD != 0. I also noticed and fixed a cosmetic issue where 1.0f was used in long double functions and should have been 1.0L. This completes the move of all functions to testing in all rounding modes with ALL_RM_TEST, so gen-libm-have-vector-test.sh is updated to remove the workaround for some functions not using ALL_RM_TEST. Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 and powerpc. [BZ #18613] * sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_gamma_r.c (gamma_positive): Take log of X_ADJ not X when adjusting exponent.

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 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.
