Both IEEE-754 2008 and ISO/IEC TS 18661-4 define the half-cycle
trignometric functions cospi, sinpi, and tanpi. The attached
patch implements cospi[fl], sinpi[fl], and tanpi[fl]. Limited
testing on the cospi and sinpi reveal a max ULP less than 0.89;
while tanpi is more problematic with a max ULP less than 2.01
in the interval [0,0.5]. The algorithms used in these functions
are documented in {ks}_cospi.c, {ks}_sinpi.c, and s_tanpi.c.
Note. I no longer have access to a system with ld128 and
adequate support to compile and test the ld128 implementations
of these functions. Given the almost complete lack of input from
others on improvements to libm, I doubt that anyone cares. If
someone does care, the ld128 files contain a number of FIXME comments,
and in particular, while the polynomial coefficients are given
I did not update the polynomial algorithms to properly use the
coefficients.
