Subject: [musl] Double Rounding in ....
Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2023 19:11:41 +1100 (AEDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <239849df-fbf3-95e5-f1bd-f1863d43fe8@esi.com.au> (raw)


 	hypot, hypotf, hypotl
and
 	scalbn, scalbnf, scalbnl

Does anybody have a good/clear explanation for how double rounding occurs 
in the case of squaring-of/multiplication-by small numbers and how the 
action taken in the code addresses that? Not sure if it needs to mention

 	FLT_EVAL_METHOD

because certainly the float and double versions of those routines are
written in terms of float_t and double_t respectively.

Thanks - Damian
