The bits/floatn.h header currently only has defines relating to
_Float128. This patch adds defines relating to other _FloatN /
_FloatNx types.
The approach taken is to add defines for all _FloatN / _FloatNx types
known to GCC, and to put them in a common bits/floatn-common.h header
included at the end of all the individual bits/floatn.h headers. If
in future some defines become different for different glibc
configurations, they will move out into the separate bits/floatn.h
headers.
Some defines are expected always to be the same across glibc ports.
Corresponding defines are nevertheless put in this header. The intent
is that where there are conditionals (in headers or in non-installed
files) that can just repeat the same or nearly the same logic for each
floating-point type, they should do so, even if in fact the cases for
some types could be unconditionally present or absent because the same
conditionals are true or false for all glibc configurations. This
should make the glibc code with such conditionals easier to read,
because the reader can just see that the same conditionals are
repeated for each type, rather than seeing different conditionals for
different types and needing to reason, at each location with such
differences, why those differences are indeed correct there. (Cases
involving per-format rather than per-type logic are more likely still
to need differences in how they handle different types.)
Having such defines and conditionals also helps in incremental
preparation for adding _Float32 / _Float64 / _Float32x / _Float64x
function aliases. I intend subsequent patches to add such
conditionals corresponding to those already present for _Float128, as
well as making more architecture-specific function implementations use
common macros to define aliases in preparation for adding such _FloatN
/ _FloatNx aliases.
Tested for x86_64.
* bits/floatn-common.h: New file.
* math/Makefile (headers): Add bits/floatn-common.h.
* bits/floatn.h: Include <bits/floatn-common.h>.
* sysdeps/ia64/bits/floatn.h: Likewise.
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128/bits/floatn.h: Likewise.
* sysdeps/mips/ieee754/bits/floatn.h: Likewise.
* sysdeps/powerpc/bits/floatn.h: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86/bits/floatn.h: Likewise.
This patch adds a MIPS-specific bits/floatn.h header. This header is
identical to the ldbl-128 version except for the comment at the top;
the purpose is to ensure that a 32-bit MIPS build installs a header
that is the same as in a 64-bit MIPS build and so properly shows
_Float128 support to be available for 64-bit compilations, on the
general principle of an installation for one multilib providing
headers also suitable for other multilibs.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py.
* sysdeps/mips/ieee754/bits/floatn.h: New file.
Similar to bug 21987 for SPARC, MIPS64 wrongly installs the ldbl-128
version of bits/long-double.h, meaning incorrect results when using
headers installed from a 64-bit installation for a 32-bit build. (I
haven't actually seen this cause build failures before its interaction
with bits/floatn.h did so - installed headers wrongly expecting
_Float128 to be available in a 32-bit configuration.)
This patch fixes the bug by moving the MIPS header to
sysdeps/mips/ieee754, which comes before sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128 in
the sysdeps directory ordering. (bits/floatn.h will need a similar
fix - duplicating the ldbl-128 version for MIPS will suffice - for
headers from a 32-bit installation to be correct for 64-bit builds.)
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py (compilers build for
mips64-linux-gnu, where there was previously a libstdc++ build failure
as at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-testresults/2017-q4/msg00130.html>).
[BZ #22322]
* sysdeps/mips/bits/long-double.h: Move to ....
* sysdeps/mips/ieee754/bits/long-double.h: ... here.
I've moved the MIPS port from ports to the main sysdeps hierarchy.
Beyond the README update, the move of the files was simply
git mv ports/sysdeps/mips sysdeps/mips
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/mips sysdeps/unix/mips
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips
and in addition to the ChangeLog entries here, I put a note at the top
of ports/ChangeLog.mips similar to those in other files.
Tested that disassembly of installed shared libraries for mips is the
same before and after this patch (except for ld.so where paths in
assertions are involved, as for arm).
* sysdeps/mips: Move directory from ports/sysdeps/mips.
* sysdeps/unix/mips: Move directory from ports/sysdeps/unix/mips.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips: Move directory from
ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips.
* README: Update listing for mips-*-linux-gnu and
mips64-*-linux-gnu.
* sysdeps/mips: Move directory to ../sysdeps/mips.
* sysdeps/unix/mips: Move directory to ../sysdeps/unix/mips.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips: Move directory to
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips.
