them. Thus, any fd whose value is greater than SHRT_MAX is handled
incorrectly (the short value is sign-extended when converted to an int).
An unpleasant side effect is that if fopen() opens a file and gets a
backing fd that is greater than SHRT_MAX, fclose() will fail and the file
descriptor will be leaked. Better handle this by fixing fopen(), fdopen(),
and freopen() to fail attempts to use a fd greater than SHRT_MAX with
EMFILE.
At some point in the future we should look at expanding the file descriptor
in FILE to an int, but that is a bit complicated due to ABI issues.

9pi/4 < |x| <= 2**19pi/2 and a smaller speedup for larger x, and a
small speeddown for |x| <= 9pi/4 (only 1-2 cycles average, but that

Inlining this is less likely to bust caches than inlining the float

results in better code for the usual case where __kernel_rem_pio2()
is not called. In particular, when __ieee854_rem_pio2[f]() is inlined,
it normally results in y[] being returned in registers. I couldn't
get this to work using the restrict qualifier.
In float precision, this saves 2-3% in most cases on amd64 and i386
(A64) despite it not being inlined in float precision yet. In double
precision, this has high variance, with an average gain of 2% for
amd64 and 0.7% for i386 (but a much larger gain for usual cases) and
some losses.
this function and its callers cosf(), sinf() and tanf() don't waste time
converting values from doubles to floats and back for |x| > 9pi/4.
All these functions were optimized a few years ago to mostly use doubles
internally and across the __kernel*() interfaces but not across the
__ieee754_rem_pio2f() interface.
This saves about 40 cycles in cosf(), sinf() and tanf() for |x| > 9pi/4
on amd64 (A64), and about 20 cycles on i386 (A64) (except for cosf()
and sinf() in the upper range). 40 cycles is about 35% for |x| < 9pi/4
<= 2**19pi/2 and about 5% for |x| > 2**19pi/2. The saving is much
larger on amd64 than on i386 since the conversions are not easy to
optimize except on i386 where some of them are automatic and others
are optimized invalidly. amd64 is still about 10% slower in cosf()
and tanf() in the lower range due to conversion overhead.
This also gives a tiny speedup for |x| <= 9pi/4 on amd64 (by simplifying
the code). It also avoids compiler bugs and/or additional slowness
in the conversions on (not yet supported) machines where double_t !=
double.
e_rem_pio2.c:
Float and double precision didn't work because init_jk[] was 1 too small.
It needs to be 2 larger than you might expect, and 1 larger than it was
for these precisions, since its test for recomputing needs a margin of
47 bits (almost 2 24-bit units).
init_jk[] seems to be barely enough for extended and quad precisions.
This hasn't been completely verified. Callers now get about 24 bits
of extra precision for float, and about 19 for double, but only about
8 for extended and quad. 8 is not enough for callers that want to
produce extra-precision results, but current callers have rounding
errors of at least 0.8 ulps, so another 1/2**8 ulps of error from the
reduction won't affect them much.
Add a comment about some of the magic for init_jk[].
e_rem_pio2.c:
Double precision worked in practice because of a compensating off-by-1
error here. Extended precision was asked for, and it executed exactly
the same code as the unbroken double precision.
e_rem_pio2f.c:
Float precision worked in practice because of a compensating off-by-1
error here. Double precision was asked for, and was almost needed,
since the cosf() and sinf() callers want to produce extra-precision
results, at least internally so that their error is only 0.5009 ulps.
However, the extra precision provided by unbroken float precision is
enough, and the double-precision code has extra overheads, so the
off-by-1 error cost about 5% in efficiency on amd64 and i386.

fabs(), a conditional branch, and sign adjustments of 3 variables for
x < 0 when the branch is taken. In double precision, even when the
branch is perfectly predicted, this saves about 10 cycles or 10% on
amd64 (A64) and i386 (A64) for the negative half of the range, but
makes little difference for the positive half of the range. In float
precision, it also saves about 4 cycles for the positive half of the
range on i386, and many more cycles in both halves on amd64 (28 in the
negative half and 11 in the positive half for tanf), but the amd64
times for float precision are anomalously slow so the larger
improvement is only a side effect.
Previous commits arranged for the x < 0 case to be handled simply:
- one part of the rounding method uses the magic number 0x1.8p52
instead of the usual 0x1.0p52. The latter is required for large |x|,
but it doesn't work for negative x and we don't need it for large |x|.
- another part of the rounding method no longer needs to add `half'.
It would have needed to add -half for negative x.
- removing the "quick check no cancellation" in the double precision
case removed the need to take the absolute value of the quadrant
number.

FP-to-FP method to round to an integer on all arches, and convert this
to an int using FP-to-integer conversion iff irint() is not available.
This is cleaner and works well on at least ia64, where it saves 20-30
cycles or about 10% on average for 9Pi/4 < |x| <= 32pi/2 (should be
similar up to 2**19pi/2, but I only tested the smaller range).
After the previous commit to e_rem_pio2.c removed the "quick check no
cancellation" non-optimization, the result of the FP-to-integer
conversion is not needed so early, so using irint() became a much
smaller optimization than when it was committed.
An earlier commit message said that cos, cosf, sin and sinf were equally
fast on amd64 and i386 except for cos and sin on i386. Actually, cos
and sin on amd64 are equally fast to cosf and sinf on i386 (~88 cycles),
while cosf and sinf on amd64 are not quite equally slow to cos and sin
on i386 (average 115 cycles with more variance).
9pi/2 < |x| < 32pi/2 since it is only a small or negative optimation
and it gets in the way of further optimizations. It did one more
branch to avoid some integer operations and to use a different
dependency on previous results. The branches are fairly predictable
so they are usually not a problem, so whether this is a good
optimization depends mainly on the timing for the previous results,
which is very machine-dependent. On amd64 (A64), this "optimization"
is a pessimization of about 1 cycle or 1%; on ia64, it is an
optimization of about 2 cycles or 1%; on i386 (A64), it is an
optimization of about 5 cycles or 4%; on i386 (Celeron P2) it is an
optimization of about 4 cycles or 3% for cos but a pessimization of
about 5 cycles for sin and 1 cycle for tan. I think the new i386
(A64) slowness is due to an pipeline stall due to an avoidable
load-store mismatch (so the old timing was better), and the i386
(Celeron) variance is due to its branch predictor not being too good.
the the double to int conversion operation which is very slow on these
arches. Assume that the current rounding mode is the default of
round-to-nearest and use rounding operations in this mode instead of
faking this mode using the round-towards-zero mode for conversion to
int. Round the double to an integer as a double first and as an int
second since the double result is needed much earler.
Double rounding isn't a problem since we only need a rough approximation.
We didn't support other current rounding modes and produce much larger
errors than before if called in a non-default mode.
This saves an average about 10 cycles on amd64 (A64) and about 25 on
i386 (A64) for x in the above range. In some cases the saving is over
25%. Most cases with |x| < 1000pi now take about 88 cycles for cos
and sin (with certain CFLAGS, etc.), except on i386 where cos and sin
(but not cosf and sinf) are much slower at 111 and 121 cycles respectivly
due to the compiler only optimizing well for float precision. A64
hardware cos and sin are slower at 105 cycles on i386 and 110 cycles
on amd64.
the same as lrint() except it returns int instead of long. Though the
extern lrint() is fairly fast on these arches, it still takes about
12 cycles longer than the inline version, and 12 cycles is a lot in
applications where [li]rint() is used to avoid slow conversions that
are only a couple of times slower.
This is only for internal use. The libm versions of *rint*() should
also be inline, but that would take would take more header engineering.
Implementing irint() instead of lrint() also avoids a conflict with

tends to generate very bad code for accessing floating point values
as bits except when the integer accesses have the same width as the
floating point values, and direct accesses to bit-fields (as is common
only for long double precision) always gives such accesses. Use the
expsign access method, which is good for 80-bit long doubles and
hopefully no worse for 128-bit long doubles. Now the generated code
is less bad. There is still unnecessary copying of the arg on amd64
and i386 and mysterious extra slowness on amd64.

On amd64 (A64), for cos() and sin() with uniformly distributed args,

CC and CFLAGS, etc., this saves about 40 cycles or 38% in the newly
optimized range, or about 27% on average across the range |x| <= 2pi
(~65 cycles for most args, while the A64 hardware fcos and fsin take
~75 cycles for half the args and 125 cycles for the other half). The
speedup for tan() is much smaller, especially relatively. The speedup
on i386 (A64) is slightly smaller, especially relatively. i386 is
still much slower than amd64 here (unlike in the float case where it
is slightly faster).

|x| or |y| and b is |y| or |x|) when mixing NaN arg(s).
hypot*() had its own foot shooting for mixing NaNs -- it swaps the
args so that |x| in bits is largest, but does this before quieting
signaling NaNs, so on amd64 (where the result of adding NaNs depends
on the order) it gets inconsistent results if setting the quiet bit
makes a difference, just like a similar ia64 and i387 hardware comparison.
The usual fix (see e_powf.c 1.13 for more details) of mixing using
(a+0.0)+-(b+0.0) doesn't work on amd64 if the args are swapped (since
the rder makes a difference with SSE). Fortunately, the original args
are unchanged and don't need to be swapped when we let the hardware
decide the mixing after quieting them, but we need to take their
absolute value.
hypotf() doesn't seem to have any real bugs masked by this non-bug.
On amd64, its maximum error in 2^32 trials on amd64 is now 0.8422 ulps,
and on i386 the maximum error is unchanged and about the same, except
with certain CFLAGS it magically drops to 0.5 (perfect rounding).

but was into 13+24 bits. On i386 with -O1 the bug was hidden by
accidental extra precision, but on amd64, in 2^32 trials the bug
caused about 200000 errors of more than 1 ulp, with a maximum error
of about 80 ulps. Now the maximum error in 2^32 trials on amd64
is 0.8573 ulps. It is still 0.8316 ulps on i386 with -O1.
The nearby decomposition of 1/ln2 and the decomposition of 2/(3ln2) in
the double precision version seem to be sub-optimal but not broken.
This uses 2 tricks to improve consistency so that more serious problems
aren't hidden in simple regression tests by noise for the NaNs:
- for a signaling NaN, adding 0.0 generates the invalid exception and
converts to a quiet NaN, and doesn't have too many effects for other
types of args (it converts -0 to +0 in some rounding modes, but that
hopefully doesn't change the result after adding the NaN arg). This
avoids some inconsistencies on i386 and ia64. On these arches, the
result of an operation on 2 NaNs is apparently the largest or the
smallest of the NaNs as bits (consistently largest or smallest for
each arch, but the opposite). I forget which way the comparison
goes and if the sign bit affects it. The quiet bit is is handled
poorly by not always setting it before the comparision or ignoring
it. Thus if one of the args was originally a signaling NaN and the
other was originally a quiet NaN, then the result depends too much
on whether the signaling NaN has been quieted at this point, which
in turn depends on optimizations and promotions. E.g., passing float
signaling NaNs to double functions must quiet them on conversion;
on i387, loading a signaling NaN of type float or double (but not
long double) into a register involves a conversion, so it quiets
signaling NaNs, so if the addition has 2 register operands than it
only sees quiet NaNs, but if the addition has a memory operand then
it sees a signaling NaN iff it is in the memory operand.
- subtraction instead of addition is used to avoid a dubious optimization
in old versions of gcc. For SSE operations, mixing of NaNs apparently
always gives the target operand. This is not as good as the i387
and ia64 behaviour. It doesn't mix NaNs at all, and makes addition
not quite commutative. Old versions of gcc sometimes rewrite x+y
to y+x and thus give different results (in bits) for NaNs. gcc-3.3.3
rewrites x+y to y+x for one of pow() and powf() but not the other,
so starting from float NaN args x and y, powf(x, y) was almost always
different from pow(x, y).
These tricks won't give consistency of 2-arg float and double functions
with long double ones on amd64, since long double ones use the i387
which has different semantics from SSE.
Convert to __FBSDID().
and trunc() to the corresponding long double functions. This is not
just an optimization for these arches. The full long double functions
have a wrong value for `huge', and the arches without full long doubles
depended on it being wrong.
This has the side effect of confusing gcc-4.2.1's optimizer into more
often doing the right thing. When it does the wrong thing here, it
seems to be mainly making too many copies of x with dependency chains.
This effect is tiny on amd64, but in some cases on i386 it is enormous.
E.g., on i386 (A64) with -O1, the current version of exp2() should
take about 50 cycles, but took 83 cycles before this change and 66
cycles after this change. exp2f() with -O1 only speeded up from 51
to 47 cycles. (exp2f() should take about 40 cycles, on an Athlon in
either i386 or amd64 mode, and now takes 42 on amd64). exp2l() with
-O1 slowed down from 155 cycles to 123 for some args; this is unimportant
since the i386 exp2l() is a fake; the wrong thing for it seems to
involve branch misprediction.
faster on all machines tested (old Celeron (P2), A64 (amd64 and i386)
and ia64) except on ia64 when compiled with -O1. It takes 2 more
multiplications, so it will be slower on old machines. The speedup
is about 8 cycles = 17% on A64 (amd64 and i386) with best CFLAGS
and some parallelism in the caller.
Move the evaluation of 2**k up a bit so that it doesn't compete too
much with the new polynomial evaluation. Unlike the previous
optimization, this rearrangement cannot change the result, so compilers
and CPU schedulers can do it, but they don't do it quite right yet.
This saves a whole 1 or 2 cycles on A64.
when the result is +-0. IEEE754 requires (in all rounding modes) that
if the result is +-0 then its sign is the same as that of the first
arg, but in round-towards-minus-infinity mode an uncorrected implementation
detail always reversed the sign. (The detail is that x-x with x's
sign positive gives -0 in this mode only, but the algorithm assumed
that x-x always has positive sign for such x.)
remquo() and remquof() seem to need the same fix, but I cannot test them
yet.
Use long doubles when mixing NaN args. This trick improves consistency
of results on at least amd64, so that more serious problems like the
above aren't hidden in simple regression tests by noise for the NaNs.
On amd64, hardware remainder should be used since it is about 10 times
faster than software remainder and is already used for remquo(), but
it involves using the i387 even for floats and doubles, and the i387
does NaN mixing which is better than but inconsistent with SSE NaN mixing.
Software remainder() would probably have been inconsistent with
software remainderl() for the same reason if the latter existed.
Signaling NaNs cause further inconsistencies on at least ia64 and i386.

exp2(i/TBLSIZE) * p(z) instead of only for the final multiplication
and addition. This fixes the code to match the comment that the maximum
error is 0.5010 ulps (except on machines that evaluate float expressions

Fix and expand the comment about use of double precision.
The relative roundoff error from evaluating p(z) in non-extra precision
was about 16 times larger than in exp2() because the interval length
is 16 times smaller. Its maximum was at least P1 * (1.0 ulps) *
max(|z|) ~= log(2) * 1.0 * 1/32 ~= 0.0217 ulps (1.0 ulps from the
addition in (1 + P1*z) with a cancelation error when z ~= -1/32). The
actual final maximum was 0.5313 ulps, of which 0.0303 ulps must have
come from the additional roundoff error in p(z). I can't explain why
the additional roundoff error was almost 3/2 times larger than the rough
estimate.
precision. The new polynomial has degree 4 instead of 10, and a maximum
error of 2**-30.04 ulps instead of 2**-33.15. This doesn't affect the
final error significantly; the maximum error was and is about 0.5015
ulps on i386 -O1, and the number of cases with an error of > 0.5 ulps
is increased from 13851 to 14407.
Note that the error is only this close to 0.5 ulps due to excessive
extra precision caused by compiler bugs on i386. The extra precision
could be obtained intentionally, and is useful for keeping the error
of the hyperbolic float functions below 1 ulp, since these functions
are implemented using expm1f. My recent change for scaling by 2**k
had the unintentional side effect of retaining extra precision for
longer, so callers of expm1f see errors of more like 0.0015 ulps than
0.5015 ulps, and for the hyperbolic functions this reduces the maximum
error from nearly about 2 ulps to about 0.75 ulps.
This is about 10% faster on i386 (A64). expm1* is still very slow,
but now the float version is actually significantly faster. The

archive with just the global header (8 bytes in total) will be created

fields in FTS and FTSENT structs being too narrow. In addition,
the narrow types creep from there into fts.c. As a result, fts(3)
consumers, e.g., find(1) or rm(1), can't handle file trees an ordinary
user can create, which can have security implications.
To fix the historic implementation of fts(3), OpenBSD and NetBSD
have already changed <fts.h> in somewhat incompatible ways, so we
are free to do so, too. This change is a superset of changes from
the other BSDs with a few more improvements. It doesn't touch
fts(3) functionality; it just extends integer types used by it to
match modern reality and the C standard.
Here are its points:
o For C object sizes, use size_t unless it's 100% certain that
the object will be really small. (Note that fts(3) can construct
pathnames _much_ longer than PATH_MAX for its consumers.)
o Avoid the short types because on modern platforms using them
results in larger and slower code. Change shorts to ints as
follows:
- For variables than count simple, limited things like states,
use plain vanilla `int' as it's the type of choice in C.
- For a limited number of bit flags use `unsigned' because signed
bit-wise operations are implementation-defined, i.e., unportable,
in C.
o For things that should be at least 64 bits wide, use long long
and not int64_t, as the latter is an optional type. See
FTSENT.fts_number aka FTS.fts_bignum. Extending fts_number `to
satisfy future needs' is pointless because there is fts_pointer,
which can be used to link to arbitrary data from an FTSENT.
However, there already are fts(3) consumers that require fts_number,
or fts_bignum, have at least 64 bits in it, so we must allow for them.
o For the tree depth, use `long'. This is a trade-off between making
this field too wide and allowing for 64-bit inode numbers and/or
chain-mounted filesystems. On the one hand, `long' is almost
enough for 32-bit filesystems on a 32-bit platform (our ino_t is
uint32_t now). On the other hand, platforms with a 64-bit (or
wider) `long' will be ready for 64-bit inode numbers, as well as
for several 32-bit filesystems mounted one under another. Note
that fts_level has to be signed because -1 is a magic value for it,
FTS_ROOTPARENTLEVEL.
o For the `nlinks' local var in fts_build(), use `long'. The logic
in fts_build() requires that `nlinks' be signed, but our nlink_t
currently is uint16_t. Therefore let's make the signed var wide
enough to be able to represent 2^16-1 in pure C99, and even 2^32-1
on a 64-bit platform. Perhaps the logic should be changed just
to use nlink_t, but it can be done later w/o breaking fts(3) ABI
any more because `nlinks' is just a local var.
This commit also inludes supporting stuff for the fts change:
o Preserve the old versions of fts(3) functions through libc symbol
versioning because the old versions appeared in all our former releases.
o Bump __FreeBSD_version just in case. There is a small chance that
some ill-written 3-rd party apps may fail to build or work correctly
if compiled after this change.
o Update the fts(3) manpage accordingly. In particular, remove
references to fts_bignum, which was a FreeBSD-specific hack to work
around the too narrow types of FTSENT members. Now fts_number is
at least 64 bits wide (long long) and fts_bignum is an undocumented
alias for fts_number kept around for compatibility reasons. According
to Google Code Search, the only big consumers of fts_bignum are in
our own source tree, so they can be fixed easily to use fts_number.
o Mention the change in src/UPDATING.

cases which are used mainly by regression tests.
As usual, the cutoff for tiny args was not correctly translated to
float precision. It was 2**-54 but 2**-24 works. It must be about
2**-precision, since the error from approximating log(1+x) by x is
about the same as |x|. Exhaustive testing shows that 2**-24 gives
perfect rounding in round-to-nearest mode.
Similarly for the cutoff for being small, except this is not used by
so many other functions. It was 2**-29 but 2**-15 works. It must be
a bit smaller than sqrt(2**-precision), since the error from
approximating log(1+x) by x-x*x/2 is about the same as x*x. Exhaustive
testing shows that 2**-15 gives a maximum error of 0.5052 ulps in
round-to-nearest-mode. The algorithm for the general case is only good
for 0.8388 ulps, so this is sufficient (but it loses slightly on i386 --
then extra precision gives 0.5032 ulps for the general case).
While investigating this, I noticed that optimizing the usual case by
falling into a middle case involving a simple polynomial evaluation
(return x-x*x/2 instead of x here) is not such a good idea since it
gives an enormous pessimization of tinier args on machines for which
denormals are slow. Float x*x/2 is denormal when |x| ~< 2**-64 and
x*x/2 is evaluated in float precision, so it can easily be denormal
for normal x. This is even more interesting for general polynomial
evaluations. Multiplying out large powers of x is normally a good
optimization since it reduces dependencies, but it creates denormals
starting with quite large x.
forget to translate "float" to "double".
ucbtest didn't detect the bug, but exhaustive testing of the float
case relative to the double case eventually did. The bug only affects
args x with |x| ~> 2**19*(pi/2) on non-i386 (i386 is broken in a
different way for large args).
it should never have existed and it has not been used for many years
(floats are reduced faster using doubles). All relevant changes (just
the workaround for broken assignment) have been merged to the double
version.
there is a problem with non-floats (when i386 defaults to extra
precision). This essentially restores yesterday's behaviour for doubles
on i386 (since generic rint() isn't used and everywhere else assumed
working assignment), but for arches that use the generic rint() it
finishes restoring some of 1995's behaviour (don't waste time doing
unnecessary store/load).
variable hack for exp2f() only.
The volatile variable had a surprisingly large cost for exp2f() -- 19
cycles or 15% on i386 in the worst case observed. This is only partly
explained by there being several references to the variable, only one
of which benefited from it being volatile. Arches that have working
assignment are likely to benefit even more from not having any volatile
variable.
exp2() now has a chance of working with extra precision on i386.
exp2() has even more references to the variable, so it would have been
pessimized more by simply declaring the variable as volatile. Even
the temporary volatile variable for STRICT_ASSIGN costs 5-10% on i386,
(A64) so I will change STRICT_ASSIGN() to do an ordinary assignment
until i386 defaults to extra precision.
instead of a volatile cast hack for the float version only. The cast
hack broke with gcc-4, but this was harmless since the float version
hasn't been used for a few years. Merge from the float version so
that the double version has a chance of working on i386 with extra
precision.
See k_rem_pio2f.c rev.1.8 for the original hack.

hack for log1pf() only. The cast hack broke with gcc-4, resulting in
~1 million errors of more than 1 ulp, with a maximum error of ~1.5 ulps.
Now the maximum error for log1pf() on i386 is 0.5034 ulps again (this
depends on extra precision), and log1p() has a chance of working with
extra precision.
See s_log1pf.c 1.8 for the original hack. (It claims only 62343 large
errors).
Convert to _FBSDID(). Another thing broken with gcc-4 is the static

around assignments not working for gcc on i386. Now volatile hacks
for rint() and rintf() don't needlessly pessimize so many arches
and the remaining pessimizations (for arm and powerpc) can be avoided
centrally.
This cleans up after s_rint.c 1.3 and 1.13 and s_rintf.c 1.3 and 1.9:
- s_rint.c 1.13 broke 1.3 by only using a volatile cast hack in 1 place
when it was needed in 2 places, and the volatile cast hack stopped
working with gcc-4. These bugs only affected correctness tests on
i386 since i386 normally uses asm rint() and doesn't support the
extra precision mode that would break assignments of doubles.
- s_rintf.c 1.9 improved(?) on 1.3 by using a volatile variable hack
instead of an extra-precision variable hack, but it declared 2
variables as volatile when only 1 variable needed to be volatile.
This only affected speed tests on i386 since i386 uses asm rintf().

write a new test to exercise the hardlink strategies used
by different archive formats (tar, old cpio, new cpio).
This uncovered two problems, both fixed by this commit:
1) Enforce file size when writing files to disk.
2) When restoring hardlink entries, if they have data associated, go
ahead and open the file so we can write the data.
In particular, this fixes bsdtar/bsdcpio extraction of new cpio
formats where the "original" is empty and the subsequent "hardlink"
entry actually carries the data. It also provides correct behavior
for old cpio archives where hardlinked entries have their bodies
stored multiple times in the archive; the last body should always be
the one that ends up in the final file. The new pax format also
permits (but does not require) hardlinks to carry file data; again,
the last contents should always win.
Note that with any of these, a size of zero on a hardlink simply means
that the hardlink carries no data; it does not mean that the file has
zero size. A non-zero size on a hardlink does provide the file size.
Thanks to: John Baldwin, for reminding me about this long-standing bug
and sending me a simple example archive that prompted this test case
assignments and casts don't clip extra precision, if any. The
implementation is to assign to a temporary volatile variable and read
the result back to assign to the original lvalue.
lib/msun currently 2 different hard-coded hacks to avoid the problem
in just a few places and needs it in a few more places. One variant
uses volatile for the original lvalue. This works but is slower than
necessary. Another temporarily casts the lvalue to volatile. This
broke with gcc-4.2.1 or earlier (gcc now stores to the lvalue but
doesn't load from it).
instead of 32+32+15+1) on all arches that have such long doubles (amd64,
ia64 and i386). Large objects should be be accessed in large units,
and the 32+32+15+1[+padding] decomposition asks for almost the opposite
of that, sometimes resulting in very slow accesses depending on how
well the compiler ignores what we ask for and converts to the best
units for the given machine. E.g., on Athlons, there is a 10-20 cycle
penalty for accessing the middle 32-bit word immediately after an
80-bit store.
Whether actually using the alternative view is better is very machine-
dependent. A 32+32+16 view is probably best with old 32-bit systems
and gcc through 4.2.1. The compiler should mostly avoid the view and
generate best accesses, but gcc-4.2.1 is far from doing that. I think
64+16 is best for now. Similarly for doubles -- they should be using
64+0 especially on 64-bit machines, but fdlibm uses 32+32 extensively
for them. Fortunately, in 64-bit mode for doubles, gcc already ignores
the 32+32-bit view and generates best accesses in many cases.
