correct sign when the remainder was 0.
Fix a separate bug in remquo alone, in which the remainder and
quotient were both off by a bit in certain cases involving subnormal
remainders.
The bugs affected all platforms except amd64 and i386, on which the
routines are implemented in assembly.

the function bodies require only 2 to 10 instructions. However, it
leads to application binaries that refer to a private ABI, namely, the
softfloat innards in libc. This could complicate future changes in
the implementation of the floating-point emulation layer, so it seems
best to have programs refer to the official fe* entry points in libm.

Thanks to Ian Lepore for testing and debugging this patch. The fenv
regression tests pass (at least for Ian's arm chip) with this change.
- Handle cases where exp(x) would overflow, but ccosh(x) ~= exp(x) / 2
shouldn't.
- Use the ccosh(x) ~= exp(x) / 2 approximation to simplify the calculation
when x is large.
Similarly for csinh(). Also fixed the return value of csinh(-Inf +- 0i).
exp(x) scaled down by some factor, and the challenge is doing this
accurately when exp(x) would overflow. This change replaces all of
the tricks we've been using with common __ldexp_exp() and
__ldexp_cexp() routines that handle all the scaling.
bde plans to improve on this further by moving the guts of exp() into
k_exp.c and handling the scaling in a more direct manner. But the
current approach is simple and adequate for now.
library," since complex.h, tgmath.h, and fenv.h are also part of the
math library. Replace the outdated sentence with some references to
the other parts.
- Rename __kernel_log() to k_log1p().
- Move some of the work that was previously done in the kernel log into
the callers. This enables further refactoring to improve accuracy or
speed, although I don't recall the details.
- Use extra precision when adding the final scaling term, which improves
accuracy.
- Describe and work around compiler problems that break some of the
multiprecision calculations.
A fix for a small bug is also included:
- Add a special case for log*(1). This is needed to ensure that log*(1) == +0
instead of -0, even when the rounding mode is FE_DOWNWARD.

no longer "fast" on sparc64. (It really wasn't to begin with, since
the old implementation was using long doubles, and long doubles are
emulated in software on sparc64.)
round-to-nearest mode when the result, rounded to twice machine
precision, was exactly halfway between two machine-precision
values. The essence of the fix is to simulate a "sticky bit" in
the pathological cases, which is how hardware implementations
break the ties.

fenv.h that are currently inlined.
The definitions are provided in fenv.c via 'extern inline'
declaractions. This assumes the compiler handles 'extern inline' as
specified in C99, which has been true under FreeBSD since 8.0.
The goal is to eventually remove the 'static' keyword from the inline
definitions in fenv.h, so that non-inlined references all wind up
pointing to the same external definition like they're supposed to.
I am deferring the second step to provide a window where
newly-compiled apps will still link against old math libraries.
(This isn't supported, but there's no need to cause undue breakage.)

on i386-class hardware for sinl and cosl. The hand-rolled argument
reduction have been replaced by e_rem_pio2l() implementations. To
preserve history the following commands have been executed:
svn cp src/e_rem_pio2.c ld80/e_rem_pio2l.h
mv ${HOME}/bde/ld80/e_rem_pio2l.c ld80/e_rem_pio2l.h
svn cp src/e_rem_pio2.c ld128/e_rem_pio2l.h
mv ${HOME}/bde/ld128/e_rem_pio2l.c ld128/e_rem_pio2l.h
The ld80 version has been tested by bde, das, and kargl over the
last few years (bde, das) and few months (kargl). An older ld128
version was tested by das. The committed version has only been
compiled tested via 'make universe'.
