C/C++) in exp(3), expf(3), expm1(3) and expm1f(3) during intermediate computations that compute the IEEE-754 bit pattern for |2**k| for integer |k|. The implementations of exp(3), expf(3), expm1(3) and expm1f(3) need to compute IEEE-754 bit patterns for 2**k in certain places. (k is an integer and 2**k is exactly representable in IEEE-754.) Currently they do things like 0x3FF0'0000+(k<<20), which is to say they take the bit pattern representing 1 and then add directly to the exponent field to get the desired power of two. This is fine when k is non-negative. But when k<0 (and certain classes of input trigger this), this left-shifts a negative number -- an operation with undefined behavior in C and C++. The desired semantics can be achieved by instead adding the possibly-negative k to the IEEE-754 exponent bias to get the desired exponent field, _then_ shifting that into its proper overall position. (Note that in case of s_expm1.c and s_expm1f.c, there are SET_HIGH_WORD and SET_FLOAT_WORD uses further down in each of these files that perform shift operations involving k, but by these points k's range has been restricted to 2 < k <= 56, and the shift operations under those circumstances can't do anything that would be UB.)

FreeBSD
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
