From 228a78c21b9ed27004a1ccb5bd48a3263d7cd67d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joseph Myers Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2016 16:41:50 +0000 Subject: Fix i386 fdim double rounding (bug 20255). fdim suffers from double rounding on i386 because subtracting two double values can produce an inexact long double value exactly half way between two double values. This patch fixes this by creating an i386-specific version of fdim - C, based on the generic version, unlike the previous .S version - which sets the x87 precision control to double precision for the subtraction and then restores it afterwards. As noted in the comment added, there are no issues of double rounding for subnormals (a case that setting precision control does not address) because subtraction cannot produce an inexact result in the subnormal range. Tested for x86_64 and x86. [BZ #20255] * sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_fdim.c: New file. Based on math/s_fdim.c. * math/libm-test.inc (fdim_test_data): Add another test. --- sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_fdim.c | 50 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 50 insertions(+) create mode 100644 sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_fdim.c (limited to 'sysdeps/i386') diff --git a/sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_fdim.c b/sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_fdim.c new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e4db9bf --- /dev/null +++ b/sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_fdim.c @@ -0,0 +1,50 @@ +/* Return positive difference between arguments. i386 version. + Copyright (C) 1997-2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc. + This file is part of the GNU C Library. + + The GNU C Library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or + modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public + License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either + version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. + + The GNU C Library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, + but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
