On platforms where long double used to have the same format as double, but later switched to a different format (alpha, s390, sparc, and powerpc), accessing the older behavior is possible and it happens via __nldbl_* functions (not on the API, but accessible from header redirection and from compat symbols). These functions write to the global flag __ldbl_is_dbl, which tells other functions that long double variables should be handled as double. This patch takes the first step towards removing this global flag and creates __vstrfmon_l_internal, which takes an explicit flags parameter. This change arguably makes the generated code slightly worse on architectures where __ldbl_is_dbl is never true; right now, on those architectures, it's a compile-time constant; after this change, the compiler could theoretically prove that __vstrfmon_l_internal was never called with a nonzero flags argument, but it would probably need LTO to do it. This is not performance critical code and I tend to think that the maintainability benefits of removing action at a distance are worth it. However, we _could_ wrap the runtime flag check with a macro that was defined to ignore its argument and always return false on architectures where __ldbl_is_dbl is never true, if people think the codegen benefits are important. Tested for powerpc and powerpc64le. |
