Some code assumed ldexp(x, 1) is faster than 2.0*x,
but ldexp is a wrapper around scalbn which uses
multiplications inside, so this optimization is
wrong.
This commit also fixes fmal which accidentally
used ldexp instead of ldexpl loosing precision.
There are various additional changes from the
work-in-progress const cleanups.

Some long double consts were stored in two doubles as a workaround
for x86_64 and i386 with the following comment:
/* Long double constants are slow on these arches, and broken on i386. */
This is most likely old gcc bug related to the default x87 fpu
precision setting (it's double instead of double extended on BSD).

this could perhaps use some additional testing for corner cases, but
it seems to be correct.

up to 30% faster exp2 by avoiding slow frndint and fscale functions.
expm1 also takes a much more direct path for small arguments (the
expected usage case).

The old scalbn.c was wrong and slow, the new one is just slow.
(scalbn(0x1p+1023,-2097) should give 0x1p-1074, but the old code gave 0)

unlike some implementations, these functions perform the equivalent of
gcc's -ffloat-store on the result before returning. this is necessary
to raise underflow/overflow/inexact exceptions, perform the correct
rounding with denormals, etc.
|
|
unlike trig functions, these are easy to do in asm because they do not
involve (arbitrary-precision) argument reduction. fpatan automatically
takes care of domain issues, and in asin and acos, fsqrt takes care of
them for us.

infinities were getting converted into nans. the new code simply tests
for infinity and replaces it with a large magnitude value of the same
sign.
also, the fcomi instruction is apparently not part of the i387
instruction set, so avoid using it.

correctly rounded double precision fma using extended
precision arithmetics for ld80 systems (x87)
|

these are functions that have direct fpu approaches to implementation
without problematic exception or rounding issues. x86_64 lacks
float/double versions because i'm unfamiliar with the necessary sse
code for performing these operations.
|
|
Simple wrappers around round is enough because
spurious inexact exception is allowed.
|
|
|
|
A faster workaround for spurious inexact exceptions
when the result cannot be represented. The old code
actually could be wrong, because gcc reordered the
integer conversion and the exception check.

this is necessary to support archs where fenv is incomplete or
unavailable (presently arm). fma, fmal, and the lrint family should
work perfectly fine with this change; fmaf is slightly broken with
respect to rounding as it depends on non-default rounding modes to do
its work.
|
|
|
|
otherwise, the standard C lgamma function will clobber a symbol in the
namespace reserved for the application.
|
|
standard functions cannot depend on nonstandard symbols

a double precision nan, when converted to extended (80-bit) precision,
will never end in 0x400, since the corresponding bits do not exist in
the original double precision value. thus there's no need to waste
time and code size on this check.

long double and float bessel functions are no longer xsi extensions

the fsqrt opcode is correctly rounded, but only in the fpu's selected
precision mode, which is 80-bit extended precision. to get a correctly
rounded double precision output, we check for the only corner cases
where two-step rounding could give different results than one-step
(extended-precision mantissa ending in 0x400) and adjust the mantissa
slightly in the opposite direction of the rounding which the fpu
already did (reported in the c1 flag of the fpu status word).
this should have near-zero cost in the non-corner cases and at worst
very low cost.
note that in order for sqrt() to get used when compiling with gcc, the
broken, non-conformant builtin sqrt must be disabled.
