Update.
2000-05-22 Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de>
* math/Makefile: Add -D__FAST_MATH__ to CFLAGS-test-ifloat.c,
CFLAGS-test-idouble.c, CFLAGS-test-ildoubl.c.
* manual/math.texi (FP Function Optimizations): Document gcc
-ffast-math behaviour with mathinlines.
* sysdeps/i386/fpu/bits/mathinline.h: Only use save inline
functions unless -ffast-math is given to gcc.

The drawback is that code size will increase, and the increase is not always negligible. -The speed increase has one drawback: the inline functions might not set -@code{errno} and might not have the same precission as the library -functions. +There are two kind of inline functions: Those that give the same result +as the library functions and others that might not set @code{errno} and +might have a reduced precision and/or argument range in comparison with +the library functions.
