Obtained from: fdlibm-5.3
Sun finally released a new version of fdlibm just a coupe of weeks
ago. It only fixes 3 bugs (this one, another one in pow() that we
already have (rev.1.9), and one in tan(). I've learned too much about
powf() lately, so this fix was easy to merge. The patch is not verbatim,
because our base version has many differences for portability and I
didn't like global renaming of an unrelated variable to keep it separate
from the sign variable. This patch uses a new variable named sn for
the sign.
[t=p_l+p_h High]. We multiply t by lg2_h, and want the result to be
exact. For the bogus float case of the high-low decomposition trick,
we normally discard the lowest 12 bits of the fraction for the high
part, keeping 12 bits of precision. That was used for t here, but it
doesnt't work because for some reason we only discard the lowest 9
bits in the fraction for lg2_h. Discard another 3 bits of the fraction
for t to compensate.
This bug gave wrong results like:
powf(0.9999999, -2.9999995) = 1.0000002 (should be 1.0000001)
hex values: 3F7FFFFF C03FFFFE 3F800002 3F800001
As explained in the log for the previous commit, the bug is normally
masked by doing float calculations in extra precision on i386's, but
is easily detected by ucbtest on systems that don't have accidental
extra precision.
This completes fixing all the bugs in powf() that were routinely found
by ucbtest.
(1) The bit for the 1.0 part of bp[k] was right shifted by 4. This seems
to have been caused by a typo in converting e_pow.c to e_powf.c.
(2) The lower 12 bits of ax+bp[k] were not discarded, so t_h was actually
plain ax+bp[k]. This seems to have been caused by a logic error in
the conversion.
These bugs gave wrong results like:
powf(-1.1, 101.0) = -15158.703 (should be -15158.707)
hex values: BF8CCCCD 42CA0000 C66CDAD0 C66CDAD4
Fixing (1) gives a result wrong in the opposite direction (hex C66CDAD8),
and fixing (2) gives the correct result.
ucbtest has been reporting this particular wrong result on i386 systems
with unpatched libraries for 9 years. I finally figured out the extent
of the bugs. On i386's they are normally hidden by extra precision.
We use the trick of representing floats as a sum of 2 floats (one much
smaller) to get extra precision in intermediate calculations without
explicitly using more than float precision. This trick is just a
pessimization when extra precision is available naturally (as it always
is when dealing with IEEE single precision, so the float precision part
of the library is mostly misimplemented). (1) and (2) break the trick
in different ways, except on i386's it turns out that the intermediate
calculations are done in enough precision to mask both the bugs and
the limited precision of the float variables (as far as ucbtest can
check).
ucbtest detects the bugs because it forces float precision, but this
is not a normal mode of operation so the bug normally has little effect
on i386's.
On systems that do float arithmetic in float precision, e.g., amd64's,
there is no accidental extra precision and the bugs just give wrong
results.
constants the wrong way on the VAX. Instead, use C99 hexadecimal
floating-point constants, which are guaranteed to be exact on binary
IEEE machines. (The correct hexadecimal values were already provided
in the source, but not used.) Also, convert the constants to
lowercase to work around a gcc bug that wasn't fixed until gcc 3.4.0.

In C99, isinf() and isnan() cannot be implemented as regular

libm-internal use, we need to use the old versions until the next

avoid easily avoidable loss of precision when |x| is nearly 1.
Extended (64-bit) precision only moves the meaning of "nearly" here.
This probably could be done better by splitting up the range into
|x| <= 0.5 and |x| > 0.5 like the C version. However, ucbtest
does't report any errors in this version. Perhaps the C version
should be used anyway. It's only 25% slower now on a P5, provided
the C version of sqrt() isn't used, and the C version could be
optimized better.

This works much like PIC PLT dynamic initialization. The PIC case is

This defeats the point of log1p(). ucbtest reports errors of +-5e+15
ULPs. A correct version would use the i387 fyl2xp1 instruction for
small x and maybe scale to small x. The C version does the scaling
reasonably efficiently, and fyl2px1 is slow (at least on P5s), so not
much is lost by always using the C version (only 25% for small x even
with the broken i387 version; 50% for large x).

Avoid the same bug in rint(). It was only broken for the unusual
case when the i387 precision is 64 bits. FreeBSD defaults to 53
bit precision to avoid problems like this, but the standard math
emulator always uses 64 bit precision.

The fyl2xp1 instruction has such a limited range:
-(1 - (sqrt(2) / 2)) <= x <= sqrt(2) - 1
it's not worth trying to use it.
Also, I'm not sure fyl2xp1's extra precision will
matter once the result is converted from extended
real (80 bits) back to double real (64 bits).

-- Begin comments from J.T. Conklin:
The most significant improvement is the addition of "float" versions
of the math functions that take float arguments, return floats, and do
all operations in floating point. This doesn't help (performance)
much on the i386, but they are still nice to have.
The float versions were orginally done by Cygnus' Ian Taylor when
fdlibm was integrated into the libm we support for embedded systems.
I gave Ian a copy of my libm as a starting point since I had already
fixed a lot of bugs & problems in Sun's original code. After he was
done, I cleaned it up a bit and integrated the changes back into my
libm.
