            Bug ID: 16407
           Summary: ldbl-128ibm coshl spurious overflows
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.19
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: math
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: jsm28 at gcc dot gnu.org

The ldbl-128ibm implementation of coshl has a slightly too low threshold for
overflow, resulting in test failures such as:

Failure: Test: cosh (0x2.c679d1f73f0fap+8)
Result:
 is:          inf   inf
 should be:   1.79769313486217438205e+308   0x1.ffffffffffd3ae594e9cp+1023

commit b821f414e480d7f9e097fa453b1c9bfd44d64316
Author: Joseph Myers <joseph@codesourcery.com>

    Fix ldbl-128ibm coshl spurious overflows (bug 16407).

    This patch fixes bug 16407, spurious overflows from ldbl-128ibm coshl.
    The implementation assumed that a high part (reinterpreted as an
    integer) of the absolute value of the argument of 0x408633ce8fb9f87dLL
    or more meant overflow, but the actual threshold has high part
    0x408633ce8fb9f87eLL (and a negative low part).  The patch adjusts the
    threshold accordingly.

    sinhl probably has the same issue, but I didn't get that far in adding
    tests of special cases (such as just below and above overflow) before
    the freeze and during the freeze is not a suitable time to add them
    (as they'd require ulps to be regenerated again), so I'm not changing
    that function for now; when I add more tests of special cases, we'll
    discover whether sinhl indeed has this problem.

    Tested powerpc32.

        * sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/e_coshl.c (__ieee754_coshl):
        Increase overflow threshold.
