2016-12-31Add fromfp functions.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines fromfp functions (fromfp, fromfpx, ufromfp, ufromfpx, and float and long double variants) to convert from floating-point to an integer type with any signedness and any given width up to that of intmax_t, in any of the five IEEE rounding modes (the usual four for binary floating point, plus rounding to nearest with ties rounding away from zero), with control of whether in-range non-integer values should result in the "inexact" exception being raised. This patch implements these functions for glibc. These implementations are (apart from raising exceptions) pure integer implementations; it's entirely possible optimized versions could be devised for some architectures. A common math/fromfp.h header provides various common helper code that can readily be shared between the implementations for different types. For each type, the bulk of the implementation is also shared between the four functions, with wrappers that define UNSIGNED and INEXACT macros appropriately before including the main implementation. As the functions return intmax_t and uintmax_t without math.h being allowed to expose those typedef names, they are declared using __intmax_t and __uintmax_t as obtained from <bits/types.h>. The FP_INT_* rounding direction macros are defined as ascending integers in the order the names are listed in the TS; I see no significant value in allowing architectures to vary the values of them. The libm-test machinery is duly adapted to handle unsigned int arguments, and intmax_t and uintmax_t results. Because each test input is generally tested for four functions, five rounding modes and several different widths, the libm-test.inc additions are very large. Thus, the diffs in the body of this message exclude the libm-test.inc changes, with the full patch being attached gzipped. The bulk of the new tests were generated (expanded from a test input plus rounding results and information about where it lies in the relevant interval between integers, to libm-test tests for all relevant combinations of function, rounding direction and width) by a script that's included in the patch as math/gen-fromfp-tests.py (input data math/gen-fromfp-tests-inputs); as an ad hoc script that's not really expected to be rerun, it's not very polished, but it's at least plausibly useful for adding any further tests for these functions in future. I may split the libm-test tests up by function in future (so both libm-test.inc and auto-libm-test-out are split into separate files, and the tests for each function are also built and run separately), but not for 2.25. For no obvious reason, adding tgmath tests for the new functions resulted in -Wuninitialized errors from test-tgmath.c about the variable i being used uninitialized. Those errors were correct - the variable is read by the frexp version in test-tgmath.c (where real frexp would write through that pointer instead of reading it) - but I don't know why this patch would result in the pre-existing issue being newly detected. The patch initializes the variable to avoid those errors. With these changes, glibc 2.25 should have all the library features from TS 18661-1 other than the functions that round result to narrower type (and constant rounding directions, but I'm considering those mainly a compiler feature not a library one).

2016-12-22Update NEWS feature test macro description of TS 18661-1 support.Joseph Myers
The NEWS entry for the feature test macro __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__ describes the state of support for that TS as "most features from that TS are not supported by the GNU C Library". This patch updates it to say "not all features from that TS are supported by the GNU C Library". (The functions not yet supported are the fromfp functions - I'm working on them, but they may not be done before the freeze - and the functions round result to narrower type - which definitely won't be started for 2.25, since they require significant infrastructure work. That's 30 functions, which is less than half the number of functions in the TS, so saying "most" now seems inaccurate.)
2016-12-21Add roundeven, roundevenf, roundevenl.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines roundeven functions that round a floating-point number to the nearest integer, in that floating-point type, with ties rounding to even (whereas the round functions round ties away from zero). As with other such functions, they raise no exceptions apart from "invalid" for signaling NaNs. There was a previous user request for this functionality in glibc in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-help/2015-02/msg00005.html>. This patch implements these functions for glibc. The implementations use integer bit-manipulation (or roundeven on the high and low parts, in the IBM long double case). It's possible that there may be faster approaches on some architectures (in particular, on AArch64 the frintn instruction should do exactly what's required); I'll leave it to architecture maintainers or others interested to implement such architecture-specific versions if desired. (Where architectures have instructions to round to nearest integer in the current rounding mode, implementations saving and restoring the rounding mode - and dealing with exceptions if those instructions generate "inexact" - are also possible, though their performance depends on the cost of manipulating exceptions / rounding mode state.) Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 and powerpc. * math/bits/mathcalls.h [__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)] (roundeven): New declaration. * math/tgmath.h [__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)] (roundeven): New macro. * math/Versions (roundeven): New libm symbol at version GLIBC_2.25.

2016-12-16New string function explicit_bzero (from OpenBSD).Zack Weinberg
explicit_bzero(s, n) is the same as memset(s, 0, n), except that the compiler is not allowed to delete a call to explicit_bzero even if the memory pointed to by 's' is dead after the call. Right now, this effect is achieved externally by having explicit_bzero be a function whose semantics are unknown to the compiler, and internally, with a no-op asm statement that clobbers memory. This does mean that small explicit_bzero operations cannot be expanded inline as small memset operations can, but on the other hand, small memset operations do get deleted by the compiler. Hopefully full compiler support for explicit_bzero will happen relatively soon. There are two new tests: test-explicit_bzero.c verifies the visible semantics in the same way as the existing test-bzero.c, and tst-xbzero-opt.c verifies the not-being-optimized-out property. The latter is conceptually based on a test written by Matthew Dempsky for the OpenBSD regression suite. The crypt() implementation has an immediate use for this new feature. We avoid having to add a GLIBC_PRIVATE alias for explicit_bzero by running all of libcrypt's calls through the fortified variant, __explicit_bzero_chk, which is in the impl namespace anyway. Currently I'm not aware of anything in libc proper that needs this, but the glue is all in place if it does become necessary.

2016-12-16Define FE_SNANS_ALWAYS_SIGNAL.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines a macro FE_SNANS_ALWAYS_SIGNAL in <fenv.h>, to indicate that the recommended practice regarding sNaNs (that operations always produce a qNaN output with "invalid" exception, even in the fmax / fmin / hypot / pow cases where a qNaN input would not result in qNaN output) is followed. Now that those functions with C99 special cases for NaNs have been fixed not to apply those special cases to sNaN, only to qNaN, glibc follows that recommended practice. This patch makes it define the corresponding macro. Since compiler optimizations may affect whether sNaNs behave as expected and the macro relates to both language and library features, it is only defined if __SUPPORT_SNAN__ is defined (which GCC defines for -fsignaling-nans). It is also not defined if FE_INVALID is undefined, since the recommended practice specifically refers to raising the "invalid" exception, so it seems inappropriate to define the macro for soft-float cases without support for exceptions. (Further refinement would be possible in cases where bits/fenv.h is shared by configurations both with and without exceptions support.) Tested for x86_64 and x86, and also did compile-only testing for nios2 to cover the no-exceptions case. * math/fenv.h [__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT) && FE_INVALID && __SUPPORT_SNAN__] (FE_SNANS_ALWAYS_SIGNAL): New macro. * math/test-fe-snans-always-signal.c: New file. * math/Makefile (tests): Add test-fe-snans-always-signal.

2016-12-08Make _REENTRANT and _THREAD_SAFE aliases for _POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L.Zack Weinberg
For many years, the only effect of these macros has been to make unistd.h declare getlogin_r. _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 199506L also causes this function to be declared. However, people who don't carefully read all the headers might be confused into thinking they need to define _REENTRANT for any threaded code (as was indeed the case a long time ago). Therefore, remove __USE_REENTRANT, and make _REENTRANT and _THREAD_SAFE into synonyms for _POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L. This will only affect programs that don't select a higher conformance level some other way. For instance, -std=c89 -D_REENTRANT will see a change in visible declarations, but -std=c99 -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L -D_REENTRANT won't, and -D_REENTRANT all by itself also won't, because _DEFAULT_SOURCE implies _POSIX_C_SOURCE > 199506. * include/features.h: Remove __USE_REENTRANT. Treat _REENTRANT and _THREAD_SAFE the same as _POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L, if a higher POSIX conformance level has not been selected by other macros. * NEWS, manual/creature.texi: Document this change. * posix/unistd.h, posix/bits/unistd.h: Don't check __USE_REENTRANT. * include/libc-symbols.h: Don't define _REENTRANT. * scripts/check-installed-headers.sh: Don't undefine _REENTRANT.
2016-12-08Add pretty printers for the NPTL lock typesMartin Galvan
This patch adds pretty printers for the following NPTL types: - pthread_mutex_t - pthread_mutexattr_t - pthread_cond_t - pthread_condattr_t - pthread_rwlock_t - pthread_rwlockattr_t To load the pretty printers into your gdb session, do the following: python import sys sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/glibc/build/nptl/pretty-printers') end source /path/to/glibc/source/pretty-printers/nptl-printers.py You can check which printers are registered and enabled by issuing the 'info pretty-printer' gdb command. Printers should trigger automatically when trying to print a variable of one of the types mentioned above. The printers are architecture-independent, and were tested on an AMD64 running Ubuntu 14.04 and an x86 VM running Fedora 24. In order to work, the printers need to know the values of various flags that are scattered throughout pthread.h and pthreadP.h as enums and #defines. Since replicating these constants in the printers file itself would create a maintenance burden, I wrote a script called gen-py-const.awk that Makerules uses to extract the constants. This script is pretty much the same as gen-as-const.awk, except it doesn't cast the constant values to 'long' and is thorougly documented. The constants need only to be enumerated in a .pysym file, which is then referenced by a Make variable called gen-py-const-headers. As for the install directory, I discussed this with Mike Frysinger and Siddhesh Poyarekar, and we agreed that it can be handled in a separate patch, and shouldn't block merging of this one. In addition, I've written a series of test cases for the pretty printers. Each lock type (mutex, condvar and rwlock) has two test programs, one for itself and other for its related 'attributes' object. Each test program in turn has a PExpect-based Python script that drives gdb and compares its output to the expected printer's. The tests run on the glibc host, which is assumed to have both gdb and PExpect; if either is absent the tests will fail with code 77 (UNSUPPORTED). For cross-testing you should use cross-test-ssh.sh as test-wrapper. I've tested the printers on both native builds and a cross build using a Beaglebone Black running Debian, with the build system's filesystem shared with the board through NFS. Finally, I've written a README that explains all this and more. * INSTALL: Regenerated. * Makeconfig: Add comments and whitespace to make the control flow clearer.

2016-12-02Add llogb, llogbf, llogbl.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines llogb functions that are like ilogb except that they return long int instead of int. Corresponding FP_LLOGB* macros are defined, whose values are required to have the obvious correspondence to those of the FP_ILOGB* macros. This patch implements these functions and macros for glibc. llogb uses the type-generic infrastructure, with an implementation similar to the wrapper for ilogb but with additional conversion from FP_ILOGB* to FP_LLOGB*; this approach avoids needing to modify or duplicate any of the architecture-specific ilogb implementations. Tests are also based on those for ilogb. Ideally the llogb functions would alias the ilogb ones when long is 32-bit, but such aliasing requires the associated header declarations of the different-type alias to be hidden, typically by defining macros before including the header (see e.g. how sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/wordsize-64/s_llround.c defines lround to __hidden_lround before including <math.h>). The infrastructure for type-generic function implementations does not support defining such macros at present (since C code can't define a macro whose name is determined by other macros). So this patch leaves them as separate functions (similar to e.g. scalbln and scalbn being separate in such a case as well), but with the remapping of FP_ILOGB* to FP_LLOGB* conditioned out in the case where it would be the identity map.

2016-11-24Add setpayloadsig, setpayloadsigf, setpayloadsigl.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines functions for manipulating the payloads of NaNs. This patch implements the setpayloadsig functions for glibc; these are like the setpayload functions, but produce a signaling NaN instead of a quiet NaN. The substance of the implementation was included with the setpayload implementation, so the new files here just need to wrap the main files with different defines to build the new functions. Because the functions store a signaling NaN via a pointer and the libm-test macros choose a suitable initial value for the variable in such a case by comparing with the expected value, the relevant macro needs to clear exceptions after FE_INVALID may have been raised by that comparison.

2016-11-23Fix default float_t definition (bug 20855).Joseph Myers
The default (top-level) version of bits/mathdef.h defines float_t to double. It is used on ColdFire, MicroBlaze, Nios II and SH3, all of which define FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 0, so float_t should be float (and C11 requires a certain correspondence between these typedefs and FLT_EVAL_METHOD values). I proposed fixing this default in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-01/msg00499.html>, with no objections from architecture maintainers, and this patch makes that fix. As noted in the NEWS entry added, this might affect the ABIs of non-glibc libraries (ImageMagick has been mentioned in gcc-patches discussion of the S/390 case - which is unaffected by this patch), but as noted in my previous message, affected libraries would have problems with -mfpmath=sse anyway on 32-bit x86. A (compilation) testcase is added to verify the required correspondence of typedefs to FLT_EVAL_METHOD values. This test is built with -fexcess-precision=standard to avoid any issues with GCC 7 on S/390 providing a more accurate FLT_EVAL_METHOD definition in the default (no excess precision) mode. (This will also be usable to test a fix for the recently reported bug about these typedefs on x86_64 -mfpmath=387, as architecture-specific tests can be added that It is entirely possible that the fixed default makes some architecture-specific versions of bits/mathdef.h semantically equivalent to the default version and so no longer required. I don't intend to investigate that separately from the refactoring I proposed in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-11/msg00745.html>, which will create as few header variants as possible for each group of definitions.

2016-11-19Add setpayload, setpayloadf, setpayloadl.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines functions for manipulating the payloads of NaNs. This patch implements the setpayload functions for glibc; these set a number (pointed to by a function argument) to a quiet NaN with the given payload, or to +0 if the given payload is not valid. The implementations are structured to allow the substance of the implementation to be shared with the setpayloadsig functions when those are added. The semantics in the TS are not entirely clear in the case where the payload passed to the function is zero (see discussion on the WG14 reflector last month). This patch implements what seems the most sensible interpretation, that -0 is never valid to give as the payload, but +0 is valid in the case where the kind of NaN being generated has its high mantissa bit set so payload 0 is actually possible in such a NaN.

2016-10-28Add SNAN, SNANF, SNANL macros.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines SNAN macros for signaling NaN values, suitable for use in static initializers. This patch adds them to glibc's <math.h> (provided you are building with GCC 3.3 or later; no attempt is made to provide any kind of nonconforming fallback for older compilers without the __builtin_nans functions).

2016-10-26Add canonicalize, canonicalizef, canonicalizel.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines canonicalize functions to produce a canonical version of a floating-point representation. This patch implements these functions for glibc. As with the iscanonical macro, these functions are oriented to the decimal floating-point case, where some values have both canonical and noncanonical representations. However, the functions have a return value that says whether they succeeded in storing a canonical result; thus, they can fail for the case of an invalid representation (while still not making any particular choice from among multiple equally canonical valid representations of the same value). Since no floating-point formats in glibc actually have noncanonical valid representations, a type-generic implementation of these functions can be used that expects iscanonical to return 0 only for invalid representations. Now that iscanonical is used within libm.so, libm_hidden_proto / libm_hidden_def are added for __iscanonicall. The definition of these functions is intended to correspond to a convertFormat operation to the same floating-point format. Thus, they convert signaling NaNs to quiet NaNs, raising the "invalid" exception. Such a conversion "should" produce "the canonical version of that signaling NaN made quiet". libm-test.inc is made to check NaN payloads for the output of these functions, a new feature (at some point manipulation functions such as fabs and copysign should have tests added that verify payload preservation for them). As however some architectures may not follow the recommended practice of preserving NaN payloads when converting a signaling NaN to quiet, a new math-tests.h macro SNAN_TESTS_PRESERVE_PAYLOAD is added, and defined to 0 for non-NAN2008 MIPS; any other architectures seeing test failures for lack of payload preservation in this case should also define this macro to 0. (If any cases arise where the sign isn't preserved either, those should have a similar macro added.) The ldbl-96 and ldbl-128ibm tests of iscanonical are renamed and adapted to test canonicalizel as well on the same representations.

2016-10-26malloc: Remove malloc_get_state, malloc_set_state [BZ #19473]Florian Weimer
After the removal of __malloc_initialize_hook, newly compiled Emacs binaries are no longer able to use these interfaces. malloc_get_state is only used during the Emacs build process, so we provide a stub implementation only. Existing Emacs binaries will not call this stub function, but still reference the symbol. The rewritten tst-mallocstate test constructs a dumped heap which should approximates what existing Emacs binaries pass to glibc malloc.
2016-10-25Add strfromd, strfromf, and strfroml functionsGabriel F. T. Gomes
ISO/IEC TS 18661-1 adds several functions in the strfrom family to stdlib. This patch adds strfromd, strfromf, and strfroml. This is being done in preparation for the new floating-point type, float128. The added functions convert a floating-point value into a string, with configurable format.
2016-10-19Add getpayload, getpayloadf, getpayloadl.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines functions for manipulating the payloads of NaNs. This patch implements the getpayload functions for glibc; these extract the NaN payload (from an argument passed as a pointer, for which corresponding libm-test support is added) and return it in the same floating-point type. The return value of these functions is unspecified for non-NaN arguments; the patch does the simplest thing to implement, which is that the functions do not check whether the argument is a NaN and just treat the relevant bits of the representation as a payload regardless. A conversion from integer to floating-point is used to produce the required return value, except in the ldbl-128 case; as 128-bit integers are not supported for all configurations using ldbl-128, the code constructs the required floating-point representation of the return value directly instead. Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 and powerpc. * math/bits/mathcalls.h [__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)] (getpayload): New declaration. * math/Versions (getpayload): New libm symbol at version GLIBC_2.25.

2016-10-12Add totalorder, totalorderf, totalorderl.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines totalorder functions implementing the totalOrder comparison operation from IEEE 754-2008. This patch implements these functions for glibc, including the type-generic macro in <tgmath.h>. (The totalordermag functions will be added in a separate patch.) The description of the totalOrder operation is complicated. However, for IEEE interchange binary formats and the preferred quiet NaN convention, what that complicated description means is that you interpret the representation as a sign-magnitude integer (with -0 coming before +0) and do a <= comparison on that interpretation. For finite values and infinities the ordering of the sign-magnitude integers is just the same as the ordering of floating-point values, so this extends that to all representations. (Different representations of the same floating-point value - which includes same quantum in the decimal case - must still be considered equal by this operation, but that issue doesn't arise for IEEE interchange binary formats.) So the complications are: * When MIPS quiet NaN conventions are in use, the representation of NaNs needs adjusting before making such an integer comparison. This patch does this adjustment only when both arguments are NaNs, as there's no need for it if only one is a NaN, and as long as both are NaNs you can just flip the relevant bits without any problems from this turning a NaN into an infinity. * For the m68k version of ldbl-96, where the high mantissa bit is "don't care" for infinities and NaNs, representations where it differs must compare the same. Note: although the testcase for this compiles, I have not actually tested on m68k. * For ldbl-128ibm, the low part must be ignored when the high part is NaN, and low parts of +0 and -0 must be considered the same whatever the high part. The new tests in libm-test.inc are the first tests there specifying particular payloads for input NaNs. Separate tests are also added for the ldbl-96 and ldbl-128ibm special cases where there are different representations of the same value that must compare equal (which can't be covered in libm-test.inc as that only specifies values, not representations).

2016-10-07Add configure check to test if gcc supports attribute ifunc.Stefan Liebler
This patch adds a configure check to test if gcc supports attribute ifunc. The support can either be enabled in <gcc-src>/gcc/config.gcc for one architecture in general by setting default_gnu_indirect_function variable to yes or by configuring gcc with --enable-gnu-indirect-function. The next patch rewrites libc_ifunc macro to use gcc attribute ifunc instead of inline assembly to generate the IFUNC symbols due to false debuginfo. If gcc does not support attribute ifunc, the old approach for generating ifunc'ed symbols is used. Then the debug-information is false. Thus it is recommended to use a gcc with indirect function support (See notes in INSTALL). After this patch-series these inline assemblies for ifunc-handling are not scattered in multiple files but are used only indirect via ifunc-macros and can simply removed in libc-symbols.h in future. If glibc is configured with --enable-multi-arch and gcc does not support attribute ifunc, a configure warning is dumped! ChangeLog: * config.h.in (HAVE_GCC_IFUNC): New undef. * configure.ac: Add check if gcc supports attribute ifunc feature. * configure: Regenerated. * manual/install.texi: Add recommendation for gcc with indirect-function support. * INSTALL: Regenerated.
2016-10-06Add iseqsig.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 adds an iseqsig type-generic comparison macro to <math.h>. This macro is like the == operator except that unordered operands result in the "invalid" exception and errno being set to EDOM. This patch implements this macro for glibc. Given the need to set errno, this is implemented with out-of-line functions __iseqsigf, __iseqsig and __iseqsigl (of which the last only exists at all if long double is ABI-distinct from double, so no function aliases or compat support are needed). The present patch ignores excess precision issues; I intend to deal with those in a followup patch. (Like comparison operators, type-generic comparison macros should *not* convert operands to their semantic types but should preserve excess range and precision, meaning that for some argument types and values of FLT_EVAL_METHOD, an underlying function should be called for a wider type than that of the arguments.) The underlying functions are implemented with the type-generic template machinery. Comparing x <= y && x >= y is sufficient in ISO C to achieve an equality comparison with "invalid" raised for unordered operands (and the results of those two comparisons can also be used to tell whether errno needs to be set). However, some architectures have GCC bugs meaning that unordered comparison instructions are used instead of ordered ones. Thus, a mechanism is provided for architectures to use an explicit call to feraiseexcept to raise exceptions if required. If your architecture has such a bug you should add a fix-fp-int-compare-invalid.h header for it, with a comment pointing to the relevant GCC bug report; if such a GCC bug is fixed, that header's contents should have a __GNUC_PREREQ conditional added so that the workaround can eventually be removed for that architecture.

2016-09-30Add iscanonical.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 adds an iscanonical classification macro to <math.h>. The motivation for this is decimal floating-point, where some values have both canonical and noncanonical encodings. For IEEE binary interchange formats, all encodings are canonical. For x86/m68k ldbl-96, and for ldbl-128ibm, there are encodings that do not represent any valid value of the type; although formally iscanonical does not need to handle trap representations (and so could just always return 1), it seems useful, and in line with the description in the TS of "representations that are extraneous to the floating-point model" as being non-canonical (as well as "redundant representations of some or all of its values"), for it to detect those representations and return 0 for them. This patch adds iscanonical to glibc. It goes in a header <bits/iscanonical.h>, included under appropriate conditions in <math.h>. The default header version just evaluates the argument (converted to its semantic type, though current GCC will probably discard that conversion and any exceptions resulting from it) and returns 1. ldbl-96 and ldbl-128ibm then have versions of the header that call a function __iscanonicall for long double (the sizeof-based tests will of course need updating for float128 support, like other such type-generic macro implementations). The ldbl-96 version of __iscanonicall has appropriate conditionals to reflect the differences in the m68k version of that format (where the high mantissa bit may be either 0 or 1 when the exponent is 0 or 0x7fff). Corresponding tests for those formats are added as well. Other architectures do not have any new functions added because just returning 1 is correct for all their floating-point formats. Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 (to test the default macro version) and powerpc. * math/math.h [__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)]: Include <bits/iscanonical.h>. * bits/iscanonical.h: New file. * math/s_iscanonicall.c: Likewise. * math/Versions (__iscanonicall): New libm symbol at version GLIBC_2.25. * math/libm-test.inc (iscanonical_test_data): New array.

2016-09-23Add iszero.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 adds an iszero classification macro to <math.h>. This patch implements it for glibc. There are no new underlying functions in libm because the implementation uses fpclassify when sNaN support is required and a direct comparison otherwise; any optimizations for this macro should be done through adding __builtin_iszero in GCC and using it in the header for suitable GCC versions, not through adding other optimized inline or out-of-line versions to glibc. Tested for x86_64 and x86. * math/math.h [__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)] (iszero): New macro. * math/libm-test.inc (iszero_test_data): New array. (iszero_test): New function.

2016-09-21Add issubnormal.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 adds an issubnormal classification macro to <math.h>. This patch implements it for glibc. There are no new underlying functions in libm because the implementation uses fpclassify; any optimizations for this macro should be done through adding __builtin_subnormal in GCC and using it in the header for suitable GCC versions, not through adding other optimized inline or out-of-line versions to glibc. The intended structure of the NEWS entry for <math.h> features from TS 18661-1 is like: * New <math.h> features are added from TS 18661-1:2014: - Nearest integer functions: roundeven, roundevenf, roundevenl. - Comparison macros: iseqsig. - Classification macros: iscanonical, issubnormal, iszero. (that is, following the grouping of interfaces in TS 18661-1:2014, with any group where any interfaces are new in glibc 2.25 being listed like that). Tested for x86_64 and x86. * math/math.h [__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)] (issubnormal): New macro. * math/libm-test.inc (issubnormal_test_data): New array.

2016-09-21Add <stdint.h> integer width macros.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines macros for the width of integer types, intended for use with the fromfp functions to convert from floating-point types to integer types of any width, in any rounding mode and with control over whether "inexact" is raised. Such macros are, of course, more generally useful than just with those functions. Those macros are added to <limits.h> and <stdint.h>. Having previously added the <limits.h> macros, this patch adds the <stdint.h> ones. I've also added these macros to GCC's headers for GCC 7, but for glibc systems, the definitions in GCC's <stdint.h> will only be used with -ffreestanding.

2016-09-07Add femode_t functions.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines a type femode_t to represent the set of dynamic floating-point control modes (such as the rounding mode and trap enablement modes), and functions fegetmode and fesetmode to manipulate those modes (without affecting other state such as the raised exception flags) and a corresponding macro FE_DFL_MODE. This patch series implements those interfaces for glibc. This first patch adds the architecture-independent pieces, the x86 and x86_64 implementations, and the <bits/fenv.h> and ABI baseline updates for all architectures so glibc keeps building and passing the ABI tests on all architectures. Subsequent patches add the fegetmode and fesetmode implementations for other architectures. femode_t is generally an integer type - the same type as fenv_t, or as the single element of fenv_t where fenv_t is a structure containing a single integer (or the single relevant element, where it has elements for both status and control registers) - except where architecture properties or consistency with the fenv_t implementation indicate otherwise. FE_DFL_MODE follows FE_DFL_ENV in whether it's a magic pointer value (-1 cast to const femode_t *), a value that can be distinguished from valid pointers by its high bits but otherwise contains a representation of the desired register contents, or a pointer to a constant variable (the powerpc case; __fe_dfl_mode is added as an exported constant object, an alias to __fe_dfl_env). Note that where architectures (that share a register between control and status bits) gain definitions of new floating-point control or status bits in future, the implementations of fesetmode for those architectures may need updating (depending on whether the new bits are control or status bits and what the implementation does with previously unknown bits), just like existing implementations of <fenv.h> functions that take care not to touch reserved bits may need updating when the set of reserved bits changes. (As any new bits are outside the scope of ISO C, that's just a quality-of-implementation issue for supporting them, not a conformance issue.) As with fenv_t, femode_t should properly include any software DFP rounding mode (and for both fenv_t and femode_t I'd consider that fragment of DFP support appropriate for inclusion in glibc even in the absence of the rest of libdfp; hardware DFP rounding modes should already be included if the definitions of which bits are status / control bits are correct). Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 (hard float, and soft float to test the fallback version), arm (hard float) and powerpc (hard float, soft float and e500).

2016-08-29Add fetestexceptflag.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines an fetestexceptflag function to test the exception state saved in an fexcept_t object by fegetexceptflag. This patch implements this function for glibc. Almost all architectures save exception state in such a way that it can be directly ANDed with exception flag bits, so rather than having lots of fetestexceptflag implementations that all do the same thing, the math/ implementation is made to use this generic logic (which is also OK in the fallback case where FE_ALL_EXCEPT is zero). The only architecture that seems to need anything different is s390. (fegetexceptflag and fesetexceptflag use abbreviated filenames fgetexcptflg.c and fsetexcptflg.c. Because we are no longer concerned by 14-character filename limits, fetestexceptflag uses the obvious filename fetestexceptflag.c.) The NEWS entry is intended to be expanded along the lines given in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-08/msg00356.html> when fegetmode and fesetmode are added.

2016-08-16Add fesetexcept.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines an fesetexcept function for setting floating-point exception flags without the side-effect of causing enabled traps to be taken. This patch series implements this function for glibc. The present patch adds the fallback stub implementation, x86 and x86_64 implementations, documentation, tests and ABI baseline updates. The remaining patches, some of them untested, add implementations for other architectures. The implementations generally follow those of the fesetexceptflag function. As for fesetexceptflag, the approach taken for architectures where setting flags causes enabled traps to be taken is to set the flags (and potentially cause traps) rather than refusing to set the flags and returning an error. Since ISO C and TS 18661 provide no way to enable traps, this is formally in accordance with the standards. The NEWS entry should be considered a placeholder, since this patch series is intended to be followed by further such series adding other TS 18661-1 features, so that the NEWS entry would end up looking more like * New <fenv.h> features from TS 18661-1:2014 are added to libm: the fesetexcept, fetestexceptflag, fegetmode and fesetmode functions, the femode_t type and the FE_DFL_MODE macro. with hopefully more such entries for other features, rather than having an entry for a single function in the end. I believe we have consensus for adding TS 18661-1 interfaces as per <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-06/msg00421.html>.

2016-08-03Deprecate inclusion of <sys/sysmacros.h> by <sys/types.h>Zack Weinberg
The macros defined by <sys/sysmacros.h> are not part of POSIX nor XSI, and their names frequently collide with user code; see for instance glibc bug 19239 and Red Hat bug 130601. <stdlib.h> includes <sys/types.h> under _GNU_SOURCE, and C++ code presently cannot avoid being compiled under _GNU_SOURCE, exacerbating the problem. * NEWS: Inclusion of <sys/sysmacros.h> by <sys/types.h> is deprecated. * misc/sys/sysmacros.h: If __SYSMACROS_DEPRECATED_INCLUSION is defined, define major, minor, and makedev to issue deprecation warnings on use.

2016-08-03Support __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__ feature test macro.Joseph Myers
This patch implements support for the __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__ feature test macro from ISO/IEC 18661-1:2014, following the __GLIBC_USE approach now used for __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__. For this macro, the relevant consideration is whether it is defined or undefined when an affected header is included (not what its value is if defined, and not whether it's defined or undefined when any other unaffected system header is included). Currently this macro only affects the issignaling macro and the nextup and nextdown functions (so they can be enabled by defining this macro, not just by defining _GNU_SOURCE as previously). Any further features from this TS added in future would also be conditioned on this macro. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed stripped shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * bits/libc-header-start.h (__GLIBC_USE_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT): New macro. * include/features.h (__STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__): Document. * manual/arith.texi (issignaling): Document as ISO from TS 18661-1:2014.

2016-08-02Support __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__ feature test macro.Joseph Myers
This patch implements support for the __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__ feature test macro from ISO/IEC TR 24731-2:2010, thereby implementing one possible approach for supporting ISO C feature test macros. Recall that, as described in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-05/msg00486.html>, these macros work based on the definition when affected headers are included, so cannot be handled once when the first system header is included because that might not be one of the headers the particular macro in question affects. <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-05/msg00680.html> expresses views on possible approaches for implementation and <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-06/msg00039.html> follows up on that. This patch arranges things so that the relevant condition is __GLIBC_USE (LIB_EXT2), following one of the suggestions given. Headers using these macros include <bits/libc-header-start.h>, which in turn includes <features.h>. Headers must define __GLIBC_INTERNAL_STARTING_HEADER_IMPLEMENTATION before including <bits/libc-header-start.h>, to discourage inclusion outside glibc as requested. __USE_GNU conditions on affected functions are changed to __GLIBC_USE (LIB_EXT2), while it's added as an additional alternative on the conditions for functions already enabled for some POSIX versions. It would be possible to convert existing __USE_* conditionals to __GLIBC_USE (with the relevant __GLIBC_USE_* being defined in <features.h> where __USE_* are presently defined), and so make them typo-proof (given -Wundef -Werror in glibc builds) because __GLIBC_USE is used with #if not #ifdef / #if defined. No attempt is made to enforce the rule about diagnosing different definitions of __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__ when affected headers are included; such a diagnostic is incompatible with multiple-include guards on the affected headers, unless compiler extensions are added to support it. As previously noted, glibc does not implement all features from TR 24731-2:2010: the functions aswprintf vaswprintf getwdelim getwline are not in glibc, although they would be appropriate to add if someone wished to do so. But I think it makes sense to support the feature test macro if *any* of the controlled features are present in glibc. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed stripped shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * bits/libc-header-start.h: New file. * Makefile (headers): Add bits/libc-header-start.h. * include/features.h (__STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__): Document. (__GLIBC_USE): New macro. * libio/stdio.h: Define __GLIBC_INTERNAL_STARTING_HEADER_IMPLEMENTATION and include <bits/libc-header-start.h> instead of including <features.h>.

This reverts commit 62ce266b0b261def2c6329be9814ffdcc11964d6. The change is not mature enough because it needs the following fixes: 1. Redirect test output to a file like other tests 2. Eliminate the need to use a .gdbinit because distributions will break without it. I should have caught that but I was in too much of a hurry to get the patch in :/ 3. Feature checking during configure to determine things like minimum required gdb version, python-pexpect version, etc. to make sure that tests work correctly.
