             Bug #: 13885
           Summary: expm1l inaccurate for x86_64/x86
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.15
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: math
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: jsm28@gcc.gnu.org
    Classification: Unclassified


The x86 and x86_64 implementations of expm1l, for exponents below 128, involve
a value of log2 (e) to long double precision, when a more accurate value (as in
expl) is needed.  For example, this results in a 75ulp error for expm1l (127)
on x86_64.
