             Bug #: 14759
           Summary: Most functions in math.h not correctly rounded
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.15
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: math
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: JoshuaHopp@web.de
    Classification: Unclassified
              Host: x86_64
            Target: x86_64
             Build: linux-gnu


Most functions in math.h do not use correct rounding. Example:

//--- snip ---
#include <math.h>
#include <fenv.h>
#include <assert.h>

int main() {
        double x = 1.0; // 1.0 is exact

        fesetround(FE_DOWNWARD);
        double a = asin(x);
        fesetround(FE_UPWARD);
        double b = asin(x);

        // asin(1) == pi/2, which is not exactly representable
        // so, assuming correct rounding, a should be less than b
        assert(a < b);
}
//--- snap ---

Compile with "gcc -lm" (or even "gcc -lm -ffloat-store -frounding-math").

Run the example:
 main: Assertion `a < b' failed.

Similar results can be obtained with exp, cos, acos, atan, sinh, cosh, atanh,
asinh and acosh.

--- Comment #1 from Joseph Myers <jsm28 at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-10-24 12:39:29 UTC ---
I'll use this as the general meta-bug for not-correctly-rounding functions
(other than those with fully specified results such as sqrt and fma), as I
suggested in <http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-02/msg00392.html>, and
mark other bugs for small ulps errors (say 1-10ulps) as duplicates of this one.

SUSPENDED as correctly-rounding issues are generally known to be hard to fix
and to need new implementations of functions in many cases, with detailed error
analysis and exhaustive searches for worst cases for rounding.

--- Comment #5 from Joseph Myers <jsm28 at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
glibc accuracy goals are now documented in the manual and the FAQ and correct
rounding is explicitly excluded - without ruling out the possibility that in
future we could add correctly rounding functions under names such as crasin, or
other functions with well-defined error bounds, probably automatically
generated with tools such as metalibm.
