previously 0x1p-1000 and 0x1p1000 was used for raising inexact
exception like x+tiny (when x is big) or x+huge (when x is small)
the rational is that these float consts are large enough
(0x1p-120 + 1 raises inexact even on ld128 which has 113 mant bits)
and float consts maybe smaller or easier to load on some platforms
(on i386 this reduced the object file size by 4bytes in some cases)
modifications:
* avoid unsigned->signed conversions
* removed various volatile hacks
* use FORCE_EVAL when evaluating only for side-effects
* factor out R() rational approximation instead of manual inline
* __invtrigl.h now only provides __invtrigl_R, __pio2_hi and __pio2_lo
* use 2*pio2_hi, 2*pio2_lo instead of pi_hi, pi_lo
otherwise the logic is not changed, long double versions will
need a revisit when a genaral long double cleanup happens
zero, one, two, half are replaced by const literals
The policy was to use the f suffix for float consts (1.0f),
but don't use suffix for long double consts (these consts
can be exactly represented as double).
thanks to the hard work of Szabolcs Nagy (nsz), identifying the best
(from correctness and license standpoint) implementations from freebsd
and openbsd and cleaning them up! musl should now fully support c99
float and long double math functions, and has near-complete complex
math support. tgmath should also work (fully on gcc-compatible
compilers, and mostly on any c99 compiler).
based largely on commit 0376d44a890fea261506f1fc63833e7a686dca19 from
nsz's libm git repo, with some additions (dummy versions of a few
missing long double complex functions, etc.) by me.
various cleanups still need to be made, including re-adding (if
they're correct) some asm functions that were dropped.
