* optimize scalbn familyRich Felker2012-03-203-7/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the fscale instruction is slow everywhere, probably because it involves a costly and unnecessary integer truncation operation that ends up being a no-op in common usages. instead, construct a floating point scale value with integer arithmetic and simply multiply by it, when possible. for float and double, this is always possible by going to the next-larger type. we use some cheap but effective saturating arithmetic tricks to make sure even very large-magnitude exponents fit. for long double, if the scaling exponent is too large to fit in the exponent of a long double value, we simply fallback to the expensive fscale method. on atom cpu, these changes speed up scalbn by over 30%. (min rdtsc timing dropped from 110 cycles to 70 cycles.)
* remquo asm: return quotient mod 8, as intended by the specRich Felker2012-03-191-17/+26
| | | | | this is a lot more efficient and also what is generally wanted. perhaps the bit shuffling could be more efficient...

| * code cleanup of named constantsnsz2012-03-1973-623/+513
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

| * don't try to create non-standard denormalization signalnsz2012-03-193-7/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Underflow exception is only raised when the result is invalid, but fmod is always exact. x87 has a denormalization exception, but that's nonstandard. And the superflous *1.0 will be optimized away by any compiler that does not honor signaling nans.

| * use scalbn or *2.0 instead of ldexp, fix fmalnsz2012-03-198-101/+102
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some code assumed ldexp(x, 1) is faster than 2.0*x, but ldexp is a wrapper around scalbn which uses multiplications inside, so this optimization is wrong. This commit also fixes fmal which accidentally used ldexp instead of ldexpl loosing precision. There are various additional changes from the work-in-progress const cleanups.

* | fix exp asmRich Felker2012-03-191-23/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | exponents (base 2) near 16383 were broken due to (1) wrong cutoff, and (2) inability to fit the necessary range of scalings into a long double value. as a solution, we fall back to using frndint/fscale for insanely large exponents, and also have to special-case infinities here to avoid inf-inf generating nan. thankfully the costly code never runs in normal usage cases.

| * remove long double const workaroundsnsz2012-03-196-79/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some long double consts were stored in two doubles as a workaround for x86_64 and i386 with the following comment: /* Long double constants are slow on these arches, and broken on i386. */ This is most likely old gcc bug related to the default x87 fpu precision setting (it's double instead of double extended on BSD).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | unlike some implementations, these functions perform the equivalent of gcc's -ffloat-store on the result before returning. this is necessary to raise underflow/overflow/inexact exceptions, perform the correct rounding with denormals, etc.

| |_|/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | unlike trig functions, these are easy to do in asm because they do not involve (arbitrary-precision) argument reduction. fpatan automatically takes care of domain issues, and in asin and acos, fsqrt takes care of them for us.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | infinities were getting converted into nans. the new code simply tests for infinity and replaces it with a large magnitude value of the same sign. also, the fcomi instruction is apparently not part of the i387 instruction set, so avoid using it.
