adds two new directories in msun: ld80 and ld128. These are for
long double functions specific to the 80-bit long double format
used on x86-derived architectures, and the 128-bit format used on
sparc64, respectively.
standard in C99 and POSIX.1-2001+. They are also not deprecated, since
apart from being standard they can handle special args slightly better
than the ilogb() functions.
Move their documentation to ilogb.3. Try to use consistent and improved
wording for both sets of functions. All of ieee854, C99 and POSIX
have better wording and more details for special args.
Add history for the logb() functions and ilogbl(). Fix history for
ilogb().
fedisableexcept(), and fegetexcept(). These two sets of routines
provide the same functionality. I implemented the former as an
undocumented internal interface to make the regression test easier to
write. However, fe(enable|disable|get)except() is already part of
glibc, and I would like to avoid gratuitous differences. The only
major flaw in the glibc API is that there's no good way to report
errors on processors that don't support all the unmasked exceptions.
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.
