# 178140 12-Apr-2008 das

Make several changes to the way printf handles hex floating point (%a):

1. Previously, printing the number 1.0 could produce 0x1p+0, 0x2p-1,
0x4p-2, or 0x8p-3, depending on what happened to be convenient. This
meant that printing a value as a double and printing the same value
as a long double could produce different (but equivalent) results.
The change is to always make the leading digit a 1, unless the
number is 0. This solves the aforementioned problem and has
several other advantages.

2. Use the FPU to do rounding. This is far simpler and more portable
than manipulating the bits, and it fixes an obsure round-to-even
bug. It also raises the exceptions now required by IEEE 754R.
The drawbacks are that it is usually slightly slower, and it makes
printf less effective as a debugging tool when the FPU is hosed
(e.g., due to a buggy softfloat implementation).

3. On i386, twiddle the rounding precision so that (2) works properly
for long doubles.

4. Make several simplifications that are now possible due to (2).

5. Split __hldtoa() into a separate file.

Thanks to remko for access to a sparc64 box for testing.


# 156613 12-Mar-2006 deischen

Add each directory's symbol map file to SYM_MAPS.


# 140889 27-Jan-2005 das

Don't compile the gdtoa package's strtoIg.c into libc.
I never got around to making use of it.


# 140279 15-Jan-2005 das

Eliminate gdtoa.mk and move its contents to ${MACHINE_ARCH}/Makefile.inc.
The purpose of having a separate file involved an abandoned scheme that
would have kept contrib/gdtoa out of the include path for the rest of libc.


# 124667 18-Jan-2004 das

Implement __hdtoa() and __hldtoa() and enable printf() support for %a
and %A, which print floating-point numbers in hexadecimal.


# 124374 11-Jan-2004 ru

Replaced an ugly hack to selectively disable warnings
in contributed sources with just a hack made possible
by bsd.sys.mk,v 1.33. This is better because it just
nulls out the warning flags rather than adding gcc(1)
specific -w option to CFLAGS.


# 124354 10-Jan-2004 obrien

Add an ulgy hack so that warnings added by non-zero WARNS values won't be
used with the contrib/ gdtoa sources as they aren't WARNS-clean.

# 113145 05-Apr-2003 das

Add __ldtoa(), a wrapper around gdtoa() to make it look like dtoa().
In support of this, add some MD macros to assist in converting long
doubles to the format expected by gdtoa().

Clean up the way gdtoa sources are found.

OK'ed by: das


# 112163 12-Mar-2003 das

Replace our ancient dtoa/strtod implementation with the gdtoa
package, a more recent, generalized set of routines. Among the
changes:
- Declare strtof() and strtold() in stdlib.h.
- Add glue to libc to support these routines for all kinds
of ``long double''.
- Update printf() to reflect the fact that dtoa works slightly
differently now.

As soon as I see that nothing has blown up, I will kill
src/lib/libc/stdlib/strtod.c. Soon printf() will be able
to use the new routines to output long doubles without loss
of precision, but numerous bugs in the existing code must
be addressed first.
