The new implementation is provided under !__OBSOLETE_MATH, it uses
ISO C99 code. With default settings the worst case error in nearest
rounding mode is 0.547 ULP with inlined fma and fma contraction. It uses
a 1 KB lookup table, on aarch64 .text+.rodata size of libm.a is increased
by 1584 bytes.
Note that the math.h header defines log2(x) to be log(x)/Ln2, this is
not changed, so the new code is only used if that macro is suppressed.
Improvements on Cortex-A72:
latency: 2.0x
thruput: 2.2x
* libm/common/s_log2.c: Change from using M_LOG2_E to M_LN2 define
(from math.h--the latter is POSIX, the former non-standard).
* libm/common/sf_log2.c: Ditto. Change cast for M_LN2 from float to
float_t (in case all math not done in float).
* libc/include/math.h: Ditto (same 2 things as sf_log2.c).
* libc/include/math.h: (llround, llroundf): Declare.
* libm/common/s_llround.c: New file, implementing llround().
* libm/common/sf_llround.c: New file, implementing llroundf().
* libm/common/sf_lround.c: Remove spurious cast in _DOUBLE_IS_32BITS
version of function.
* libm/common/sf_lrint.c: Ditto.
* libm/common/sf_logb.c: Corrected return for subnormal argument
by replacing existing function with a version created from sf_ilogb.c.
* libm/common/s_logb.c: Ditto, except starting point s_ilogb.c. Also
added documentation for logb() and logbf().
* libm/common/s_signbit.c: Add signbit() documentation.
* libm/common/s_log2.c: Update return values to match what w_log2.c has,
since log2 uses log(); add note about being derived instead of direct.
* libm/common/sf_fma.c: Add casts to attempt to get correct results,
as well as comments pointing out problems with the implementation.
* libm/common/s_fma.c: Add fma() and fmaf() documentation.
* libm/common/sf_remquo.c: Incorrect quotient returns for large values
corrected by discarding existing function and replacing with Sun
verion, with some enhancements.
* libm/common/s_remquo.c: Ditto. Add remquo() and remquof()
documentation.
* libm/common/s_fmax.c: Add fmax() and fmaxf() documentation.
* libm/common/s_fmin.c: Add fmin() and fminf() documentation.
* libm/common/s_fdim.c: Return NAN for NAN arg, add fdim() and fdimf()
documentation.
* libm/common/sf_fdim.c: Return NAN for NAN arg, HUGE_VALF for inf arg.
* libm/common/s_trunc.c: Add trunc() and truncf() documentation.
* libm/common/s_rint.c: Add rint() and rintf() documentation.
* libm/common/s_round.c: Add round() and roundf() documentation.
* libm/common/s_scalbn.c: Add scalbln() and scalblnf() documentation.
* libm/common/s_infinity.c: Add infinity() and infinityf()
documentation.
* libm/common/s_lround.c: Add lround(), lroundf(), llround(), and
llroundf() documentation.
* libm/common/s_lrint.c: Add lrint(), lrintf(), llrint(), and llrintf()
documentation.
* libm/common/isgreater.c: New file for documenting math.h function-like
macros isgreater(), isgreaterequal(), isless(), islessequal(),
islessgreater(), and isunordered().
* libm/common/s_isnan.c: Add documentation for function-like macros
fpclassify(), isfinite(), isinf(), isnan(), and isnormal().
* libm/common/s_nearbyint.c: Add nearbyint() and nearbyintf()
documentation.
* libm/common/Makefile.am: Add s_llround.c (src); sf_llround.c (fsrc);
s_fdim.def, s_fma.def, s_fmax.def, s_fmin.def,
s_logb.def, s_lrint.def, s_lround.def, s_nearbyint.def, s_remquo.def,
s_rint.def, s_round.def, s_signbit.def, s_trunc.def, and
isgreater.def (chobj);
re-name all existing chew files (chobj) to match source file base
names (put in underscores), delete all special targets for chew files
(leaving all to be generated by rule).
* libm/common/Makefile.in: regenerate.
* libm/math/w_exp2.c: Add "base 2" to documentation description (and
delete TRAD_SYNOPSIS).
* libm/math/w_gamma.c: Add tgamma() and tgammaf() documentation, along
with some history behind the function names.
* libm/math/math.tex: Add includes for newly-added documentation (see
.def additions to common/Makefile.am and math/Makefile.am in this
ChangeLog list), adjusted existing .def file names to match source file
base names (added underscores); add mention of HUGE_VALF; rename
"Version of library" section to "Error Handling" and add some text
about floating-point exception; added section "Standards Compliance And
Portability".
* libm/math/Makefile.am: Add w_exp2.def (chobj);
re-name all existing chew files (chobj) to match source file base
names, delete all special targets for chew files (leaving all to be
generated by rule).
* libm/math/Makefile.in: regenerated
* doc/makedoc.c: Change silent ignoring of commands < 5 characters
to a failure when reading macro file for commands < 4 characters;
add -v (verbose) option for printing some debugging information;
get rid of spurious translation of "@*" to "*" (no source files used @*,
so no existing doc pages were affected); clean up some compiler
warnings.
* doc/doc.str: add BUGS and SEEALSO sections (to match texi2pod.pl
which has them); Remove ITEM command (redundant with makedoc built-in
"o", not used in any present source file so nothing is lost, anyway).
* HOWTO: New file to hold information for maintainers regarding how
to do things. Initial sections on documentation and ELIX levels.
