Hi all,
during some testing I accidently found fmulq that I think is emulated by
the kernel for this CPU type:
cpu : TI UltraSparc II (BlackBird)
fpu : UltraSparc II integrated FPU
to not yield the corrent results for powers of two in the range [-8,+8] . For
example this tiny example:
int main ()
{
long double a = 2;
long double b = 1.0;
a *= b;
printf ("%Lf\n", a);
}
built with: gcc -m64 -mhard-quad-float
yields: 4
I tried to get thru the kernel code but have not yet garsped
all the macro magic ... Maybe someone has an idea?
(Kernel is 2.6.17-rc6)
Yours,
