manpages. They are not very related, so separating them makes it
easier to add meaningful cross-references and extend some of the
descriptions.
- Move the part of math(3) that discusses IEEE 754 to the ieee(3)
manpage.
- Rearrange the list of functions into categories.
- Remove the ulps column. It was appropriate for only some
of the functions in the list, and correct for even fewer
of them.
- Add some new paragraphs, and remove some old ones about
NaNs that may do more harm than good.
- Document precisions other than double-precision.
flags, so they are not pure. Remove the __pure2 annotation from them.
I believe that the following routines and their float and long double
counterparts are the only ones here that can be __pure2:
copysign is* fabs finite fmax fmin fpclassify ilogb nan signbit
When gcc supports FENV_ACCESS, perhaps there will be a new annotation
that allows the other functions to be considered pure when FENV_ACCESS
is off.
Discussed with: bde
basically support this, subject to gcc's lack of FENV_ACCESS support.
In any case, the previous setting of math_errhandling to 0 is not
allowed by POSIX.
registers as volatile. Instructions that *wrote* to FP state were
already marked volatile, but apparently gcc has license to move
non-volatile asms past volatile asms. This broke amd64's feupdateenv
at -O2 due to a WAR conflict between fnstsw and fldenv there.
- Make some minor rearrangements in the introduction.
- Mention the problem with argument reduction on i386.
- Add recently-implemented functions to the table.
- Un-document the error bounds that only apply to the old 4BSD math
library, and fill in the correct values where I know them. No
attempt has been made to document bounds lower than 1 ulp, although
smaller bounds are usually achievable in round-to-nearest mode.

in preparation for doing the same thing to RELENG_5. HUGE amounts of
help for determining what to bump provided by kris.
