Hi,
I found a bug in the generic floating point emulation code. The glibc
math testcases showed errors for the nearbyint(0.5) test. The problem
is in the _FP_FRAC_SRS_2 macro. The expression to find out if some 1
bits have been shifted out is wrong. Try the _FP_FRAC_SRS_2 macro
with the following parameters: X_f1 = 0x00800000, X_f0 = 0x00000000,
N = 53, sz = 56. It comes back with 0x0000000000000005 instead of
0x0000000000000004. Now you can do the math ;-)
With the following patch test-float and test-double (both from glibc)
now run without errors on a S/390 without IEEE fpu.
