ld80 and ld128 implementations of expm1l(). This code started life
as a fairly faithful implementation of the algorithm found in

PTP Tang, "Table-driven implementation of the Expm1 function
in IEEE floating-point arithmetic," ACM Trans. Math. Soft., 18,
211-222 (1992).

Over the last 18-24 months, the code has under gone significant
optimization and testing.

ld80/s_expl.c:

* Use integral numerical constants, and let the compiler do the
conversion to long double.

ld128/s_expl.c:

* Use integral numerical constants, and let the compiler do the
conversion to long double.
* Use the ENTERI/RETURNI macros, which are no-ops on ld128. This
however makes the ld80 and ld128 identical.

Add a comment to note that bde supplied most, if not all,

ld80/s_expl.c:

* In the special case x = -Inf or -NaN, use a micro-optimization
to eliminate the need to access u.xbits.man.

* Fix an off-by-one for small arguments |x| < 0x1p-65.

ld128/s_expl.c:

* In the special case x = -Inf or -NaN, use a micro-optimization
to eliminate the need to access u.xbits.manh and u.xbits.manl.

ld80/s_expl.c:

* Update the evaluation of the polynomial. This allows the removal
of the now unused variables t23 and t45.

ld128/s_expl.c:

* Update the evaluation of the polynomial and the intermediate
result t. This update allows several numerical constants to be
written as double rather than long double constants. Update
the constants as appropriate.

Update a comment to reflect that we are using an endpoint of
an interval instead of a midpoint.

Use the macroi as a micro-optimization to convert a subtraction and
division to a shift.

* Rename the polynomial coefficients from P2, P3, ... to A2, A3, ....

this is a table, and to be consistent with the naming scheme

251024 27-May-2013 das

Fix some regressions caused by the switch from gcc to clang. The fixes
are workarounds for various symptoms of the problem described in clang
bugs 3929, 8100, 8241, 10409, and 12958.

The regression tests did their job: they failed, someone brought it
up on the mailing lists, and then the issue got ignored for 6 months.
Oops. There may still be some regressions for functions we don't have
test coverage for yet.

Improve the accuracy from a max ULP of ~2000 to max ULP < 0.79
on i386-class hardware for sinl and cosl. The hand-rolled argument
reduction have been replaced by e_rem_pio2l() implementations. To
preserve history the following commands have been executed:

svn cp src/e_rem_pio2.c ld80/e_rem_pio2l.h
mv ${HOME}/bde/ld80/e_rem_pio2l.c ld80/e_rem_pio2l.h

svn cp src/e_rem_pio2.c ld128/e_rem_pio2l.h
mv ${HOME}/bde/ld128/e_rem_pio2l.c ld128/e_rem_pio2l.h

The ld80 version has been tested by bde, das, and kargl over the
last few years (bde, das) and few months (kargl). An older ld128
version was tested by das. The committed version has only been
compiled tested via 'make universe'.

Fix exp2*(x) on signaling NaNs by returning x+x as usual.

This has the side effect of confusing gcc-4.2.1's optimizer into more
often doing the right thing. When it does the wrong thing here, it
seems to be mainly making too many copies of x with dependency chains.
This effect is tiny on amd64, but in some cases on i386 it is enormous.
E.g., on i386 (A64) with -O1, the current version of exp2() should
take about 50 cycles, but took 83 cycles before this change and 66
cycles after this change. exp2f() with -O1 only speeded up from 51
to 47 cycles. (exp2f() should take about 40 cycles, on an Athlon in
either i386 or amd64 mode, and now takes 42 on amd64). exp2l() with
-O1 slowed down from 155 cycles to 123 for some args; this is unimportant
since the i386 exp2l() is a fake; the wrong thing for it seems to
involve branch misprediction.

Use a better method of scaling by 2**k. Instead of adding to the
exponent bits of the reduced result, construct 2**k (hopefully in
parallel with the construction of the reduced result) and multiply by
it. This tends to be much faster if the construction of 2**k is
actually in parallel, and might be faster even with no parallelism
since adjustment of the exponent requires a read-modify-wrtite at an
unfortunate time for pipelines.

In some cases involving exp2* on amd64 (A64), this change saves about
40 cycles or 30%. I think it is inherently only about 12 cycles faster
in these cases and the rest of the speedup is from partly-accidentally
avoiding compiler pessimizations (the construction of 2**k is now
manually scheduled for good results, and -O2 doesn't always mess this
up). In most cases on amd64 (A64) and i386 (A64) the speedup is about
20 cycles. The worst case that I found is expf on ia64 where this
change is a pessimization of about 10 cycles or 5%. The manual
scheduling for plain exp[f] is harder and not as tuned.

This change ld128/s_exp2l.c has not been tested.


175460 18-Jan-2008 das

Implement exp2l(). There is one version for machines with 80-bit
long doubles (i386, amd64, ia64) and one for machines with 128-bit
long doubles (sparc64). Other platforms use the double version.
I've only done runtime testing on i386.

Thanks to bde@ for helpful discussions and bugfixes.

Since nan() is supposed to work the same as strtod("nan(...)", NULL),
my original implementation made both use the same code. Unfortunately,
this meant libm depended on a vendor header at compile time and previously-
unexposed vendor bits in libc at runtime.

Hence, I just wrote my own version of the relevant vendor routine. As it
turns out, mine has a factor of 8 fewer of lines of code, and is a bit more
readable anyway. The strtod() and *scanf() routines still use vendor code.

Implement and document nan(), nanf(), and nanl(). This commit
adds two new directories in msun: ld80 and ld128. These are for
long double functions specific to the 80-bit long double format
used on x86-derived architectures, and the 128-bit format used on
sparc64, respectively.
