On powerpc32 hard-float, older processors (ones where fcfid is not available for 32-bit code), GCC generates conversions from integers to floating point that wrongly convert integer 0 to -0 instead of +0 in FE_DOWNWARD mode. This in turn results in logb and a few other functions wrongly returning -0 when they should return +0. This patch works around this issue in glibc as I proposed in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-09/msg00728.html>, so that the affected functions can be correct and the affected tests pass in the absence of a GCC fix for this longstanding issue (GCC bug 67771 - if fixed, of course we can put in GCC version conditionals, and eventually phase out the workarounds). A new macro FIX_INT_FP_CONVERT_ZERO is added in a new sysdeps header fix-int-fp-convert-zero.h, and the powerpc32/fpu version of that header defines the macro based on the results of a configure test for whether such conversions use the fcfid instruction. Tested for x86_64 (that installed stripped shared libraries are unchanged by the patch) and powerpc (that HAVE_PPC_FCFID comes out to 0 as expected and that the relevant tests are fixed). Also tested a build with GCC configured for -mcpu=power4 and verified that HAVE_PPC_FCFID comes out to 1 in that case. There are still some other issues to fix to get test-float and test-double passing cleanly for older powerpc32 processors (apart from the need for an ulps regeneration for powerpc). (test-ldouble will be harder to get passing cleanly, but with a combination of selected fixes to ldbl-128ibm code that don't involve significant performance issues, allowing spurious underflow and inexact exceptions for that format, and lots of XFAILing for the default case of unpatched libgcc, it should be doable.)

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. The current GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be incorporated into an official GNU C Library release. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 2.6.32 or later. Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be installed for the pthread library to work correctly. The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: aarch64*-*-linux-gnu alpha*-*-linux-gnu arm-*-linux-gnueabi hppa-*-linux-gnu Not currently functional without patches. i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 ia64-*-linux-gnu m68k-*-linux-gnu microblaze*-*-linux-gnu mips-*-linux-gnu mips64-*-linux-gnu powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only. powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian. s390-*-linux-gnu s390x-*-linux-gnu sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu tilegx-*-linux-gnu tilepro-*-linux-gnu If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has already been corrected. Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
