1.10 -Subject: expm1 ulps
1.11 -
1.12 -If you test glibc on i686 with GCC 4.3, you get a test-ildoubl failure:
1.13 -
1.14 -Failure: Test: expm1 (1) == M_El - 1.0
1.15 -Result:
1.16 - is: 1.71828182845904523532e+00 0xd.bf0a8b14576953500000p-3
1.17 - should be: 1.71828182845904523543e+00 0xd.bf0a8b14576953600000p-3
1.18 - difference: 1.08420217248550443401e-19 0x8.00000000000000000000p-66
1.19 - ulp : 1.0000
1.20 - max.ulp : 0.0000
1.21 -Maximal error of `expm1'
1.22 - is : 1 ulp
1.23 - accepted: 0 ulp
1.24 -
1.25 -What happens is that the inline expansion of expm1l uses __builtin_expm1l,
1.26 -and GCC 4.3 optimizes calls to __builtin_expm1l with constant argument to
1.27 -a correctly rounded result using MPFR. The result returned is thus the
1.28 -value of e-1 rounded once to long double precision. However, the test
1.29 -expects M_El - 1.0, and the result of rounding e to long double precision,
1.30 -then subtracting 1, differs in the last place from the result of rounding
1.31 -e-1 to long double precision (the latter has smaller exponent, and the
1.32 -last bit is 1).
1.33 -
1.34 -There are two obvious approaches possible to fixing this. The first patch
1.35 -below changes the expectation to a decimal expansion for e-1 (taken from
1.36 -that of M_El) rather than doing arithmetic in the expected value. This in
1.37 -turn requires ulps to be set for the out-of-line version of expm1. It
1.38 -might also need ulps to be set for the inline version for older compilers
1.39 -if they should continue to pass the test, and possibly for other targets.
1.40 -The second patch below takes the alternative approach of keeping the
1.41 -existing expectation (which has the wrong bit in the last place) and
1.42 -setting ulps for the inline expansion of expm1, which avoids the risk of
1.43 -breaking the test for other targets.
