TS 18661-1 adds an iscanonical classification macro to <math.h>.
The motivation for this is decimal floating-point, where some values
have both canonical and noncanonical encodings. For IEEE binary
interchange formats, all encodings are canonical. For x86/m68k
ldbl-96, and for ldbl-128ibm, there are encodings that do not
represent any valid value of the type; although formally iscanonical
does not need to handle trap representations (and so could just always
return 1), it seems useful, and in line with the description in the TS
of "representations that are extraneous to the floating-point model"
as being non-canonical (as well as "redundant representations of some
or all of its values"), for it to detect those representations and
return 0 for them.
This patch adds iscanonical to glibc. It goes in a header
<bits/iscanonical.h>, included under appropriate conditions in
<math.h>. The default header version just evaluates the argument
(converted to its semantic type, though current GCC will probably
discard that conversion and any exceptions resulting from it) and
returns 1. ldbl-96 and ldbl-128ibm then have versions of the header
that call a function __iscanonicall for long double (the sizeof-based
tests will of course need updating for float128 support, like other
such type-generic macro implementations). The ldbl-96 version of
__iscanonicall has appropriate conditionals to reflect the differences
in the m68k version of that format (where the high mantissa bit may be
either 0 or 1 when the exponent is 0 or 0x7fff). Corresponding tests
for those formats are added as well. Other architectures do not have
any new functions added because just returning 1 is correct for all
their floating-point formats.
Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 (to test the default macro version) and
powerpc.

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 3.2 or later on all architectures except
i[4567]86 and x86_64, where Linux kernel version 2.6.32 or later
suffices.
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:

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.
