Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
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.
bit in a long double. For architectures that don't have such a bit,
LDBL_NBIT is 0. This makes it possible to say `mantissa & ~LDBL_NBIT'
in places that previously used an #ifdef to select the right expression.
The optimizer should dispense with the extra arithmetic when LDBL_NBIT
is 0.
o Add a MD header private to libc called _fpmath.h; this header
contains bitfield layouts of MD floating-point types.
o Add a MI header private to libc called fpmath.h; this header
contains bitfield layouts of MI floating-point types.
o Add private libc variables to lib/libc/$arch/gen/infinity.c for
storing NaN values.
o Add __double_t and __float_t to <machine/_types.h>, and provide
double_t and float_t typedefs in <math.h>.
o Add some C99 manifest constants (FP_ILOGB0, FP_ILOGBNAN, HUGE_VALF,
HUGE_VALL, INFINITY, NAN, and return values for fpclassify()) to
<math.h> and others (FLT_EVAL_METHOD, DECIMAL_DIG) to <float.h> via
<machine/float.h>.
o Add C99 macro fpclassify() which calls __fpclassify{d,f,l}() based
on the size of its argument. __fpclassifyl() is never called on
alpha because (sizeof(long double) == sizeof(double)), which is good
since __fpclassifyl() can't deal with such a small `long double'.
