From: "vincent.riviere at freesbee dot fr" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org> To: gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org Subject: [Bug target/47672] math-68881.h does not support C99 Date: Mon, 06 Jun 2011 19:06:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <bug-47672-4-v4yKQVDC6s@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> (raw) In-Reply-To: <bug-47672-4@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=47672 --- Comment #4 from Vincent Riviere <vincent.riviere at freesbee dot fr> 2011-06-06 19:06:07 UTC --- Normal math implementation should always reside inside libm, to fully support exceptions, error handling, etc. When better speed is required, and strict standard compliance is not required, a user can compile his program with -ffast-math. As a result, any call to sin() will be implemented by a single fsin instruction rather than a call to libm. The purpose is the same as math-68881.h. But the implementation is different: math-68881.h relies on the preprocessor, while -ffast-math is directly handled by GCC at low level for better register usage, etc. This is why ideally math-68881.h should be removed from GCC and -ffast-math always used by the users, when needed. However, someone reported that all the functionnality of math-68881.h was not reported to -ffast-math: some instructions are missing. So I propose the following roadmap: 1) Commit my proposed patch, then close this bug. This will fix the current math-68881.h for C99. I hit that problem when compiling libtiff. 2) Move the missing functionnality from math-68881.h to -ffast-math, then remove math-68881.h from GCC.
