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.
this is necessary to support archs where fenv is incomplete or
unavailable (presently arm). fma, fmal, and the lrint family should
work perfectly fine with this change; fmaf is slightly broken with
respect to rounding as it depends on non-default rounding modes to do
its work.
thanks to the hard work of Szabolcs Nagy (nsz), identifying the best
(from correctness and license standpoint) implementations from freebsd
and openbsd and cleaning them up! musl should now fully support c99
float and long double math functions, and has near-complete complex
math support. tgmath should also work (fully on gcc-compatible
compilers, and mostly on any c99 compiler).
based largely on commit 0376d44a890fea261506f1fc63833e7a686dca19 from
nsz's libm git repo, with some additions (dummy versions of a few
missing long double complex functions, etc.) by me.
various cleanups still need to be made, including re-adding (if
they're correct) some asm functions that were dropped.
