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'.
This was developed by David Schultz and myself with input from bde and
fenner.
