2025-03-12math: Refactor how to use libm-test-ulpsAdhemerval Zanella1-53/+13
The current approach tracks math maximum supported errors by explicitly setting them per function and architecture. On newer implementations or new compiler versions, the file is updated with newer values if it shows higher results. The idea is to track the maximum known error, to update the manual with the obtained values. The constant libm-test-ulps shows little value, where it is usually a mechanical change done by the maintainer, for past releases it is usually ignored whether the ulp change resulted from a compiler regression, and the math tests already have a maximum ulp error that triggers a regression. It was shown by a recent update after the new acosf [1] implementation that is correctly rounded, where the libm-test-ulps was indeed from a compiler issue. This patch removes all arch-specific libm-test-ulps, adds system generic libm-test-ulps where applicable, and changes its semantics. The generic files now track specific implementation constraints, like if it is expected to be correctly rounded, or if the system-specific has different error expectations. Now multiple libm-test-ulps can be defined, and system-specific overrides generic implementation. This is for the case where arch-specific implementation might show worse precision than generic implementation, for instance, the cbrtf on i686. Regressions are only reported if the implementation shows larger errors than 9 ulps (13 for IBM long double) unless it is overridden by libm-test-ulps and the maximum error is not printed at the end of tests. The regen-ulps rule is also removed since it does not make sense to update the libm-test-ulps automatically. The manual error table is also removed, Paul Zimmermann and others have been tracking libm precision with a more comprehensive analysis for some releases; so link to his work instead.

2025-01-03math: Remove no-mathvec flagJoe Ramsay1-2/+1
More routines are to follow, some of which hit many failures in the current testsuite due to wrong sign of zero (mathvec routines are not required to get this right). Instead of disabling a large number of tests, change the failure condition such that, for vector routines, tests pass as long as computed == expected == 0.0, regardless of sign. Affected tests (vector tests for expm1, log1p, sin, tan and tanh) all still pass.

2020-03-19math: Remove inline math testsAdhemerval Zanella1-4/+1
With mathinline removal there is no need to keep building and testing inline math tests. The gen-libm-tests.py support to generate ULP_I_* is removed and all libm-test-ulps files are updated to longer have the i{float,double,ldouble} entries. The support for no-test-inline is also removed from both gen-auto-libm-tests and the auto-libm-test-out-* were regenerated. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.

2018-10-24Use gen-libm-test.py to generate ulps table for manual.Joseph Myers1-0/+96
This patch extends gen-libm-test.py to generate the ulps table for the manual, so meaning there is only a single ulps file parser needed and another Perl script is eliminated. As with the introduction of gen-libm-test.py, this is designed to generate exactly the same libm-err.texi as libm-err-tab.pl did. (gen-libm-test.py is still shorter in lines than the old gen-libm-test.pl even after this patch.) Note that this introduces a Python dependency for building the manual, which is thus noted in install.texi and NEWS. Tested building html / info / pdf versions of the manual. * math/gen-libm-test.py: Import os. (ALL_FLOATS_MANUAL): New constant. (ALL_FLOATS_SUFFIX): Likewise. (Ulps.all_functions): New function.

2018-08-29Make gen-libm-test.py treat plus_oflow and minus_oflow as non-finite.Joseph Myers1-4/+3
When converting gen-libm-test to Python, in one place I noted a bug in the old Perl version that I preserved in the Python version so that the generated output files were the same with both versions, as such comparisons help give confidence in the correctness of such a rewrite of a script. Now that the conversion has been done, this patch fixes that bug, by arranging for tests with plus_oflow or minus_oflow results (manually written tests in libm-test-*.inc that have overflowing results that thus depend on the rounding mode) to be properly treated as having non-finite results, and thus not run for the __FINITE_MATH_ONLY__ tests. (As the affected tests in fact did pass for __FINITE_MATH_ONLY__ testing, this is just a matter of logical correctness in the choice of which tests run for that case, rather than fixing any actual test failures.) Tested for x86_64. * math/gen-libm-test.py (gen_test_args_res): Also treat plus_oflow and minus_oflow as non-finite.
2018-08-09Replace gen-libm-test.pl with gen-libm-test.py.Joseph Myers1-0/+603
Following the recent discussion of using Python instead of Perl and Awk for glibc build / test, this patch replaces gen-libm-test.pl with a new gen-libm-test.py script. This script should work with all Python versions supported by glibc (tested by hand with Python 2.7, tested in the build system with Python 3.5; configure prefers Python 3 if available). This script is designed to give identical output to gen-libm-test.pl for ease of verification of the change, except for generated comments referring to .py instead of .pl. (That is, identical for actual inputs passed to the script, not necessarily for all possible input; for example, this version more precisely follows the C standard syntax for floating-point constants when deciding when to add LIT macro calls.) In one place a comment notes that the generation of NON_FINITE flags is replicating a bug in the Perl script to assist in such comparisons (with the expectation that this bug can then be separately fixed in the Python script later). Tested for x86_64, including comparison of generated files (and hand testing of the case of generating a sorted libm-test-ulps file, which isn't covered by normal "make check"). I'd expect to follow this up by extending the new script to produce the ulps tables for the manual as well (replacing manual/libm-err-tab.pl, so that then we just have one ulps file parser) - at which point the manual build would depend on both Perl and Python (eliminating the Perl dependency would require someone to rewrite summary.pl in Python, and that would only eliminate the *direct* Perl dependency; current makeinfo is written in Perl so there would still be an indirect dependency). I think install.texi is more or less equally out-of-date regarding Perl and Python uses before and after this patch, so I don't think this patch depends on my patch <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-08/msg00133.html> to update install.texi regarding such uses (pending review). * math/gen-libm-test.py: New file. * math/gen-libm-test.pl: Remove. * math/Makefile [$(PERL) != no]: Change condition to [PYTHON].
