function approximation for the second step. The polynomial has degree
2 for cbrtf() and 4 for cbrt(). These degrees are minimal for the final
accuracy to be essentially the same as before (slightly smaller).
Adjust the rounding between steps 2 and 3 to match. Unfortunately,
for cbrt(), this breaks the claimed accuracy slightly although incorrect
rounding doesn't. Claim less accuracy since its not worth pessimizing
the polynomial or relying on exhaustive testing to get insignificantly
more accuracy.
This saves about 30 cycles on Athlons (mainly by avoiding 2 divisions)
so it gives an overall optimization in the 10-25% range (a larger
percentage for float precision, especially in 32-bit mode, since other
overheads are more dominant for double precision, surprisingly more
in 32-bit mode).
- in preparing for the third approximation, actually make t larger in
magnitude than cbrt(x). After chopping, t must be incremented by 2
ulps to make it larger, not 1 ulp since chopping can reduce it by
almost 1 ulp and it might already be up to half a different-sized-ulp
smaller than cbrt(x). I have not found any cases where this is
essential, but the think-time error bound depends on it. The relative
smallness of the different-sized-ulp limited the bug. If there are
cases where this is essential, then the final error bound would be
5/6+epsilon instead of of 4/6+epsilon ulps (still < 1).
- in preparing for the third approximation, round more carefully (but
still sloppily to avoid branches) so that the claimed error bound of
0.667 ulps is satisfied in all cases tested for cbrt() and remains
satisfied in all cases for cbrtf(). There isn't enough spare precision
for very sloppy rounding to work:
- in cbrt(), even with the inadequate increment, the actual error was
0.6685 in some cases, and correcting the increment increased this
a little. The fix uses sloppy rounding to 25 bits instead of very
sloppy rounding to 21 bits, and starts using uint64_t instead of 2
words for bit manipulation so that rounding more bits is not much
costly.
- in cbrtf(), the 0.667 bound was already satisfied even with the
inadequate increment, but change the code to almost match cbrt()
anyway. There is not enough spare precision in the Newton
approximation to double the inadequate increment without exceeding
the 0.667 bound, and no spare precision to avoid this problem as
in cbrt(). The fix is to round using an increment of 2 smaller-ulps
before chopping so that an increment of 1 ulp is enough. In cbrt(),
we essentially do the same, but move the chop point so that the
increment of 1 is not needed.
Fixed comments to match code:
- in cbrt(), the second approximation is good to 25 bits, not quite 26 bits.
- in cbrt(), don't claim that the second approximation may be implemented
in single precision. Single precision cannot handle the full exponent
range without minor but pessimal changes to renormalize, and although
single precision is enough, 25 bit precision is now claimed and used.
Added comments about some of the magic for the error bound 4/6+epsilon.
I still don't understand why it is 4/6+ and not 6/6+ ulps.

the second step of approximating cbrt(x). It turns out to be neither
very magic not nor very good. It is just the (2,2) Pade approximation
to 1/cbrt(r) at r = 1, arranged in a strange way to use fewer operations
at a cost of replacing 4 multiplications by 1 division, which is an
especially bad tradeoff on machines where some of the multiplications
can be done in parallel. A Remez rational approximation would give
at least 2 more bits of accuracy, but the (2,2) Pade approximation
already gives 6 more bits than needed. (Changed the comment which
essentially says that it gives 3 more bits.)
Lower order Pade approximations are not quite accurate enough for
double precision but are plenty for float precision. A lower order
Remez rational approximation might be enough for double precision too.
However, rational approximations inherently require an extra division,
and polynomial approximations work well for 1/cbrt(r) at r = 1, so I
plan to switch to using the latter. There are some technical
complications that tend to cost a division in another way.
This gives an optimization of between 9 and 22% on Athlons (largest
for cbrt() on amd64 -- from 205 to 159 cycles).
We extracted the sign bit and worked with |x|, and restored the sign
bit as the last step. We avoided branches to a fault by using accesses
to FP values as bits to clear and restore the sign bit. Avoiding
branches is usually good, but the bit access macros are not so good
(especially for setting FP values), and here they always caused pipeline
stalls on Athlons. Even using branches would be faster except on args
that give perfect branch misprediction, since only mispredicted branches
cause stalls, but it possible to avoid touching the sign bit in FP
values at all (except to preserve it in conversions from bits to FP
not related to the sign bit). Do this. The results are identical
except in 2 of the 3 unsupported rounding modes, since all the
approximations use odd rational functions so they work right on strictly
negative values, and the special case of -0 doesn't use an approximation.
For some denormalized long double values, a bug in __hldtoa() (called
from *printf()'s %A format) results in a base 16 digit being rounded
up from 0xf to 0x10.
When this digit is subsequently converted to string format, an index
of 10 reaches past the end of the uppper-case hex/char array, picking
up whatever the code segment happen to contain at that address.
This mostly seem to be some character from the upper half of the
byte range.
When using the %a format instead of %A, the first character past
the end of the lowercase hex/char table happens to be index 0 in
the uppercase hex/char table hextable and therefore the string
representation features a '0', which is supposedly correct.
This leads me to belive that the proper fix _may_ be as simple as
masking all but the lower four bits off after incrementing a hex-digit
in libc/gdtoa/_hdtoa.c:roundup(). I worry however that the upper
bit in 0x10 indicates a carry not carried.
Until das@ or bde@ finds time to visit this issue, extend the
hexdigit arrays with a 17th index containing '?' so that we get a
invalid but consistent and printable output in both %a and %A formats
whenever this bug strikes.
This unmasks the bug in the %a format therefore solving the real
issue may both become easier and more urgent.

Keep the large comments only in the double version as usual.
Fixed some style bugs (mainly grammar and spelling errors in comments).
It was because I forgot to translate the part of the double precision
algorithm that chops t so that t*t is exact. Now the maximum error
is the same as for double precision (almost exactly 2.0/3 ulps).
The maximum error was 3.56 ulps.
The bug was another translation error. The double precision version
has a comment saying "new cbrt to 23 bits, may be implemented in
precision". This means exactly what it says -- that the 23 bit second
approximation for the double precision cbrt() may be implemented in
single (i.e., float) precision. It doesn't mean what the translation
assumed -- that this approximation, when implemented in float precision,
is good enough for the the final approximation in float precision.
First, float precision needs a 24 bit approximation. The "23 bit"
approximation is actually good to 24 bits on float precision args, but
only if it is evaluated in double precision. Second, the algorithm
requires a cleanup step to ensure its error bound.
In float precision, any reasonable algorithm works for the cleanup
step. Use the same algorithm as for double precision, although this
is much more than enough and is a significant pessimization, and don't
optimize or simplify anything using double precision to implement the
float case, so that the whole double precision algorithm can be verified
in float precision. A maximum error of 0.667 ulps is claimed for cbrt()
and the max for cbrtf() using the same algorithm shouldn't be different,
but the actual max for cbrtf() on amd64 is now 0.9834 ulps. (On i386
-O1 the max is 0.5006 (down from < 0.7) due to extra precision.)
The threshold for not being tiny was too small. Use the usual 2**-12
threshold. As for sinhf, use a different method (now the same as for
sinhf) to set the inexact flag for tiny nonzero x so that the larger
threshold works, although this method is imperfect. As for sinhf,
this change is not just an optimization, since the general code that
we fell into has accuracy problems even for tiny x. On amd64, avoiding
it fixes tanhf on 2*13495596 args with errors of between 1 and 1.3
ulps and thus reduces the total number of args with errors of >= 1 ulp
from 37533748 to 5271278; the maximum error is unchanged at 2.2 ulps.
The magic number 22 is log(DBL_MAX)/2 plus slop. This is bogus for
float precision. Use 9 (log(FLT_MAX)/2 plus less slop than for
double precision). Unlike for coshf and tanhf, this is just an
optimization, and MAX isn't misspelled EPSILON in the commit log.
I started testing with nonstandard rounding modes, and verified that
the chosen thresholds work for all modes modulo problems not related
to thresholds. The best thresholds are not very dependent on the mode,
at least for tanhf.
shares its low half with pio2_hi. pio2_hi is rounded down although
rounding to nearest would be a tiny bit better, so pio4_hi must be
rounded down too. It was rounded to nearest, which happens to be
different in float precision but the same in double precision.
This fixes about 13.5 million errors of more than 1 ulp in asinf().
The largest error was 2.81 ulps on amd64 and 2.57 ulps on i386 -O1.
Now the largest error is 0.93 ulps on amd65 and 0.67 ulps on i386 -O1.
sqrt(2)/2-1. For log1p(), fixed the approximation to sqrt(2)/2-1.
The end result is to fix an error of 1.293 ulps in
log1pf(0.41421395540 (hex 0x3ed413da))
and an error of 1.783 ulps in
log1p(-0.292893409729003961761) (hex 0x12bec4 00000001)).
The former was the only error of > 1 ulp for log1pf() and the latter
is the only such error that I know of for log1p().
The approximations don't need to be very accurate, but the last 2 need
to be related to the first and be rounded up a little (even more than
1 ulp for sqrt(2)/2-1) for the following implementation-detail reason:
when the arg (x) is not between (the approximations to) sqrt(2)/2-1
and sqrt(2)-1, we commit to using a correction term, but we only
actually use it if 1+x is between sqrt(2)/2 and sqrt(2) according to
the first approximation. Thus we must ensure that
!(sqrt(2)/2-1 < x < sqrt(2)-1) implies !(sqrt(2)/2 < x+1 < sqrt(2)),
where all the sqrt(2)'s are really slightly different approximations
to sqrt(2) and some of the "<"'s are really "<="'s. This was not done.
In log1pf(), the last 2 approximations were rounded up by about 6 ulps
more than needed relative to a good approximation to sqrt(2), but the
actual approximation to sqrt(2) was off by 3 ulps. The approximation
to sqrt(2)-1 ended up being 4 ulps too small, so the algoritm was
broken in 4 cases. The result happened to be broken in 1 case. This
is fixed by using a natural approximation to sqrt(2) and derived
approximations for the others.
In logf(), all the approximations made sense, but the approximation
to sqrt(2)/2-1 was 2 ulps too small (a tiny amount, since we compare
with a granularity of 2**32 ulps), so the algorithm was broken in 2
cases. The result was broken in 1 case. This is fixed by rounding
up the approximation to sqrt(2)/2-1 by 2**32 ulps, so 2**32 cases are
now handled a little differently (still correctly according to my
assertion that the approximations don't need to be very accurate, but
this has not been checked).

precision. It is not necessary to convert w-TWO52[sx] to double

(1) In round-to-nearest mode, on all machines, fdlibm rint() never
worked for |x| = n+0.75 where n is an even integer between 262144
and 524286 inclusive (2*131072 cases). To avoid double rounding
on some machines, we begin by adjusting x to a value with the 0.25
bit not set, essentially by moving the 0.25 bit to a lower bit
where it works well enough as a guard, but we botched the adjustment
when log2(|x|) == 18 (2*2**52 cases) and ended up just clearing
the 0.25 bit then. Most subcases still worked accidentally since
another lower bit serves as a guard. The case of odd n worked
accidentally because the rounding goes the right way then. However,
for even n, after mangling n+0.75 to 0.5, rounding gives n but the
correct result is n+1.
(2) In round-towards-minus-infinity mode, on all machines, fdlibm rint()
never for x = n+0.25 where n is any integer between -524287 and
-262144 inclusive (262144 cases). In these cases, after mangling
n+0.25 to n, rounding gives n but the correct result is n-1.
(3) In round-towards-plus-infinity mode, on all machines, fdlibm rint()
never for x = n+0.25 where n is any integer between 262144 and
524287 inclusive (262144 cases). In these cases, after mangling
n+0.25 to n, rounding gives n but the correct result is n+1.
A variant of this bug was fixed for the float case in rev.1.9 of s_rintf.c,
but the analysis there is incomplete (it only mentions (1)) and the fix
is buggy.
Example of the problem with double rounding: rint(1.375) on a machine
which evaluates double expressions with just 1 bit of extra precision
and is in round-to-nearest mode. We evaluate the result using
(double)(2**52 + 1.375) - 2**52. Evaluating 2**52 + 1.375 in (53+1) bit
prcision gives 2**52 + 1.5 (first rounding). (Second) rounding of this
to double gives 2**52 + 2.0. Subtracting 2**52 from this gives 2.0 but
we want 1.0. Evaluating 2**52 + 1.375 in double precision would have
given the desired intermediate result of 2**52 + 1.0.
The double rounding problem is relatively rare, so the botched adjustment
can be fixed for most machines by removing the entire adjustment. This
would be a wrong fix (using it is 1 of the bugs in rev.1.9 of s_rintf.c)
since fdlibm is supposed to be generic, but it works in the following cases:
- on all machines that evaluate double expressions in double precision,
provided either long double has the same precision as double (alpha,
and i386's with precision forced to double) or my earlier fix to use
a long double 2**52 is modified to avoid using long double precision.
- on all machines that evaluate double expressions in many more than 11
bits of extra precision. The 1 bit of extra precision in the example
is the worst case. With N bits of extra precision, it sufices to
adjust the bit N bits below the 0.5 bit. For N >= about 52 there is
no such bit so the adjustment is both impossible and unnecessary. The
fix in rev.1.9 of s_rintf.c apparently depends on corresponding magic
in float precision: on all supported machines N is either 0 or >= 24,
so double rounding doesn't occur in practice.
- on all machines that don't use fdlibm rint*() (i386's).
So under FreeBSD, the double rounding problem only affects amd64 now, but
should only affect i386 in future (when double expressions are evaluated
in long double precision).
