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 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. 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.
