lrint in (LONG_MAX, 1/DBL_EPSILON) and in (-1/DBL_EPSILON, LONG_MIN) is not trivial: rounding to int may be inexact, but the conversion to int may overflow and then the inexact flag must not be raised. (the overflow threshold is rounding mode dependent). this matters on 32bit targets (without single instruction lrint or rint), so the common case (when there is no overflow) is optimized by inlining the lrint logic, otherwise the old code is kept as a fallback. on my laptop an i486 lrint call is asm:10ns, old c:30ns, new c:21ns on a smaller arm core: old c:71ns, new c:34ns on a bigger arm core: old c:27ns, new c:19ns
A faster workaround for spurious inexact exceptions when the result cannot be represented. The old code actually could be wrong, because gcc reordered the integer conversion and the exception check.
this is necessary to support archs where fenv is incomplete or unavailable (presently arm). fma, fmal, and the lrint family should work perfectly fine with this change; fmaf is slightly broken with respect to rounding as it depends on non-default rounding modes to do its work.
thanks to the hard work of Szabolcs Nagy (nsz), identifying the best (from correctness and license standpoint) implementations from freebsd and openbsd and cleaning them up! musl should now fully support c99 float and long double math functions, and has near-complete complex math support. tgmath should also work (fully on gcc-compatible compilers, and mostly on any c99 compiler). based largely on commit 0376d44a890fea261506f1fc63833e7a686dca19 from nsz's libm git repo, with some additions (dummy versions of a few missing long double complex functions, etc.) by me. various cleanups still need to be made, including re-adding (if they're correct) some asm functions that were dropped.
