http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-06/msg00919.html I discovered a number of places where denormals and other corner cases were being handled wrongly. - printf_fphex.c: Testing for the low double exponent being zero is unnecessary. If the difference in exponents is less than 53 then the high double exponent must be nearing the low end of its range, and the low double exponent hit rock bottom. - ldbl2mpn.c: A denormal (ie. exponent of zero) value is treated as if the exponent was one, so shift mantissa left by one. Code handling normalisation of the low double mantissa lacked a test for shift count greater than bits in type being shifted, and lacked anything to handle the case where the difference in exponents is less than 53 as in printf_fphex.c. - math_ldbl.h (ldbl_extract_mantissa): Same as above, but worse, with code testing for exponent > 1 for some reason, probably a typo for >= 1. - math_ldbl.h (ldbl_insert_mantissa): Round the high double as per mpn2ldbl.c (hi is odd or explicit mantissas non-zero) so that the number we return won't change when applying ldbl_canonicalize(). Add missing overflow checks and normalisation of high mantissa. Correct misleading comment: "The hidden bit of the lo mantissa is zero" is not always true as can be seen from the code rounding the hi mantissa. Also by inspection, lzcount can never be less than zero so remove that test. Lastly, masking bitfields to their widths can be left to the compiler. - mpn2ldbl.c: The overflow checks here on rounding of high double were just plain wrong. Incrementing the exponent must be accompanied by a shift right of the mantissa to keep the value unchanged. Above notes for ldbl_insert_mantissa are also relevant. [BZ #15680] * sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/e_rem_pio2l.c: Comment fix. * sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/printf_fphex.c (PRINT_FPHEX_LONG_DOUBLE): Tidy code by moving -53 into ediff calculation. Remove unnecessary test for denormal exponent. * sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/ldbl2mpn.c (__mpn_extract_long_double): Correct handling of denormals. Avoid undefined shift behaviour. Correct normalisation of low mantissa when low double is denormal. * sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/math_ldbl.h (ldbl_extract_mantissa): Likewise. Comment. Use uint64_t* for hi64. (ldbl_insert_mantissa): Make both hi64 and lo64 parms uint64_t. Correct normalisation of low mantissa. Test for overflow of high mantissa and normalise. (ldbl_nearbyint): Use more readable constant for two52. * sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/mpn2ldbl.c (__mpn_construct_long_double): Fix test for overflow of high mantissa and correct normalisation. Avoid undefined shift. |

README
This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. The current GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be incorporated into an official GNU C Library release. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 2.6.16 or later. Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be installed for the pthread library to work correctly. The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware floating point required powerpc64-*-linux-gnu s390-*-linux-gnu s390x-*-linux-gnu sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu The code for other CPU configurations supported by volunteers outside of the core glibc maintenance effort is contained in the `ports' add-on, located in the `ports' subdirectory of the source tree. aarch64*-*-linux-gnu alpha*-*-linux-gnu am33*-*-linux-gnu Not currently functional arm-*-linux-gnueabi hppa-*-linux-gnu Not currently functional without patches. ia64-*-linux-gnu m68k-*-linux-gnu mips-*-linux-gnu mips64-*-linux-gnu powerpc-*-linux-gnu Software floating point (--without-fp) tilegx-*-linux-gnu tilepro-*-linux-gnu If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has already been corrected. Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be listed using range notation, e.g., 2000-2013, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
