musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems
738c4e945c
float_t should represent the type that is used to evaluate float expressions internally. On s390x, float_t is currently set to double. In contrast, the isa supports single-precision float operations and compilers by default evaluate float in single precision, which violates the C standard (sections 5.2.4.2.2 and 7.12 in C11/C17, to be precise). With -fexcess-precision=standard, gcc evaluates float in double precision, which aligns with the standard yet at the cost of added conversion instructions. gcc-11 will drop the special case to retrofit double precision behavior for -fexcess-precision=standard so that __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ will be 0 on s390x in any scenario. To improve standards compliance and compatibility with future compiler direction, this patch changes the definition of float_t to be derived from the compiler's __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__. |

musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
