68040 and 68060 owners.
With ``make M68040=1'' or ``make M68060=1'', we build a libc where the ldexp()
doesn't use excessive amounts of system cpu time.
Without any of those defines, the normal assembler version using FSCALE is
included, for the benefit of M68020 and M68030 users, or M68040/M68060 users
where the ldexp performance is no bottleneck.
[Its not yet worked out how to include both library versions in a binary
distribution, but you can build your own from source now if you need it.]
For details, look at PR 3105.
Examining the .so output from binutils 2.8 and 2.8.1 shows the
li.d $f2, 4503599627370496e0
is (incorrectly?) emitted as GP-relative loads when PIC is in effect.
This code uses subb instead of cmpb to compare chars. When they are
not equal, the function's return value is computed by sign extending
the difference. The basic idea was contributed by Hiroshi Horitomo
<horimoto@cs-aoi.cs.sist.ac.jp> in PR #3223, but his implementation
used additional instructions to compute the return value.
Also, the series of insns used to compare one pair of characters has
been unrolled 4 times. This helps the 680[23]0, where the cost of a
taken branch is significantly more than that of a not-taken branch.
The implementation of these functions is losely based on the original
BSD code plus versions I was working on which would yeild code tuned
for a particular m68k or coldfire family cpu, code space or run time
efficiency, etc. depending on the values of various macros.
My original code was intended for use in OS-less embedded systems.
Because NetBSD can not benefit from the considerable complexity, I've
removed the extraneous preprocessor goop. The resulting code is tuned
for the '020 - '060. It will not function on the '000 or coldfire.
* Remove $Id$ headers.
* Support LIB_SCCS in all files.
* Use local labels where ever possible.
* Use cpufunc.h instead of __asm__ when possible.
* Access labels with _C_LABEL and _ASM_LABEL.
* Always set errno by calling cerror.
* No more FRAME/EMARF.
* No more SVC, use SYSTRAP instead.
* Use "$Masqueraded: as XXX $" to show e.g. memcpy compiled as bcopy.
* Rewrite vfork to work even whith a "real" vfork system call.
* Make cerror take care of _REENTRANT.
