![]() I'm trying to move the powerpc math-emu code to use the include/math-emu bits.
In doing so I've been using TestFloat to see how good or bad we are
doing. For the most part the current math-emu code that PPC uses has
a number of issues that the code in include/math-emu seems to solve
(plus bugs we've had for ever that no one every realized).
Anyways, I've come across a case that we are flagging underflow and
inexact because we think we have a denormalized result from a double
precision divide:
000.FFFFFFFFFFFFF / 3FE.FFFFFFFFFFFFE
soft: 001.0000000000000 ..... syst: 001.0000000000000 ...ux
What it looks like is the results out of FP_DIV_D are:
D:
sign: 0
mantissa: 01000000 00000000
exp: -1023 (0)
The problem seems like we aren't normalizing the result and bumping the exp.
Now that I'm digging into this a bit I'm thinking my issue has to do with
the fix DaveM put in place from back in Aug 2007 (commit
