* math: fix exp.s on i386 and x86_64 so the exception flags are correctnsz2012-08-081-21/+18
| | | | exp(inf), exp(-inf), exp(nan) used to raise wrong flags
* 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.
* optimize exponential asm for i386Rich Felker2012-03-191-11/+76
| | | | | | up to 30% faster exp2 by avoiding slow frndint and fscale functions. expm1 also takes a much more direct path for small arguments (the expected usage case).
* fix broken exponential asmRich Felker2012-03-181-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | 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.
