musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems
The old code used the rounding idiom incorrectly: y = (double)(x + 0x1p52) - 0x1p52; the cast is useless if FLT_EVAL_METHOD==0 and causes a second rounding if FLT_EVAL_METHOD==2 which can give incorrect result in nearest rounding mode, so the correct idiom is to add/sub a power-of-2 according to the characteristics of double_t. This did not cause actual bug because only i386 is affected where rint is implemented in asm. Other rounding functions use a similar idiom, but they give correct results because they only rely on getting a neighboring integer result and the rounding direction is fixed up separately independently of the current rounding mode. However they should be fixed to use the idiom correctly too. |

WHATSNEW |
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 the project website: http://www.musl-libc.org/
