same approach as in sqrt. sqrtl was broken on aarch64, riscv64 and s390x targets because of missing quad precision support and on m68k-sf because of missing ld80 sqrtl. this implementation is written for quad precision and then edited to make it work for both m68k and x86 style ld80 formats too, but it is not expected to be optimal for them. note: using fp instructions for the initial estimate when such instructions are available (e.g. double prec sqrt or rsqrt) is avoided because of fenv correctness.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
