2**-28 as a side effect, by merging with the float precision version
of tanh() and the double precision version of sinh().
For tiny x, tanh(x) ~= x, and we used the expression x*(one+x) to
return this value (x) and set the inexact flag iff x != 0. This
doesn't work on ia64 since gcc -O does the dubious optimization
x*(one+x) = x+x*x so as to use fma, so the sign of -0.0 was lost.
Instead, handle tiny x in the same as sinh(), although this is imperfect:
- return x directly and set the inexact flag in a less efficient way.
- increased the threshold for non-tinyness from 2**-55 to 2**-28 so that
many more cases are optimized than are pessimized.
Updated some comments and fixed bugs in others (ranges for half-open
intervals mostly had the open end backwards, and there were nearby style
bugs).
functions are only for compatibility with obsolete standards. They
shouldn't be used, so they shouldn't be optimized. Use the generic
versions instead.
This fixes scalbf() as a side effect. The optimized asm version left
garbage on the FP stack. I fixed the corresponding bug in the optimized
asm scalb() and scalbn() in 1996. NetBSD fixed it in scalb(), scalbn()
and scalbnf() in 1999 but missed fixing it in scalbf(). Then in 2005
the bug was reimplemented in FreeBSD by importing NetBSD's scalbf().
The generic versions have slightly different error handling:
- the asm versions blindly round the second parameter to a (floating
point) integer and proceed, while the generic versions return NaN
if this rounding changes the value. POSIX permits both behaviours
(these functions are XSI extensions and the behaviour for a bogus
non-integral second parameter is unspecified). Apart from this
and the bug in scalbf(), the behaviour of the generic versions seems
to be identical. (I only exhusatively tested
generic_scalbf(1.0F, anyfloat) == asm_scalb(1.0F, anyfloat). This
covers many representative corner cases involving NaNs and Infs but
doesn't test exception flags. The brokenness of scalbf() showed up
as weird behaviour after testing just 7 integer cases sequentially.)
to scalbf(), but ldexpf() cannot be implemented in that way since the
types of the second parameter differ. ldexpf() can be implemented as
a weak or strong reference to scalbnf() (*) but that was already done
long before rev.1.10 was committed. The old implementation uses a
reference, so rev.1.10 had no effect on applications. The C files for
the scalb() family are not used for amd64 or i386, so rev.1.10 had even
less effect for these arches.
(*) scalbnf() raises the radix to the given exponent, while ldexpf()
raises 2 to the given exponent. Thus the functions are equivalent
except possibly for their error handling iff the radix is 2. Standards
more or less require identical error handling. Under FreeBSD, the
functions are equivalent except for more details being missing in
scalbnf()'s man page.
well as avoiding a switch statement. This change has no significant impact
to performance when branch prediction is successful at predicting the sizes
of objects passed to free(), but in the case that the object sizes are
semi-random, this change has the potential to prevent many branch prediction
misses, thus improving performance substantially.
Take advantage of alignment guarantees in ipalloc(), and pad object sizes to
something less than a power of two when possible. This has the potential
to substantially reduce internal fragmentation for objects allocated via
posix_memalign().
Avoid an unnecessary pow2_ceil() call in arena_ralloc().
