|
| -Probably many bugs.
|
| -
|
| -Known bugs:
|
| -
|
| -* The overflow/underflow exceptions may be badly handled in some functions;
|
| - specially when the intermediary internal results have exponent which
|
| - exceeds the hardware limit (2^30 for a 32 bits CPU, and 2^62 for a 64 bits
|
| - CPU) or the exact result is close to an overflow/underflow threshold.
|
| -
|
| -* Under Linux/x86 with the traditional FPU, some functions do not work
|
| - if the FPU rounding precision has been changed to single (this is a
|
| - bad practice and should be useless, but one never knows what other
|
| - software will do).
|
| -
|
| -* Some functions do not use MPFR_SAVE_EXPO_* macros, thus do not behave
|
| - correctly in a reduced exponent range.
|
| -
|
| -* Function hypot gives incorrect result when on the one hand the difference
|
| - between parameters' exponents is near 2*MPFR_EMAX_MAX and on the other hand
|
| - the output precision or the precision of the parameter with greatest
|
| - absolute value is greater than 2*MPFR_EMAX_MAX-4.
|
| -
|
| -Potential bugs:
|
| -
|
| -* Possible incorrect results due to internal underflow, which can lead to
|
| - a huge loss of accuracy while the error analysis doesn't take that into
|
| - account. If the underflow occurs at the last function call (just before
|
| - the MPFR_CAN_ROUND), the result should be correct (or MPFR gets into an
|
| - infinite loop). TODO: check the code and the error analysis.
|
| -
|
| -* Possible integer overflows on some machines.
|
| -
|
| -* Possible bugs with huge precisions (> 2^30).
|
| -
|
| -* Possible bugs if the chosen exponent range does not allow to represent
|
| - the range [1/16, 16].
|
| -
|
| -* Possible infinite loop in some functions for particular cases: when
|
| - the exact result is an exactly representable number or the middle of
|
| - consecutive two such numbers. However for non-algebraic functions, it is
|
| - believed that no such case exists, except the well-known cases like cos(0)=1,
|
| - exp(0)=1, and so on, and the x^y function when y is an integer or y=1/2^k.
|
| -
|
| -* The mpfr_set_ld function may be quite slow if the long double type has an
|
| - exponent of more than 15 bits.
|
| -
|
| -* mpfr_set_d may give wrong results on some non-IEEE architectures.
|
| -
|
| -* Error analysis for some functions may be incorrect (out-of-date due
|
| - to modifications in the code?).
|
| -
|
| -* Possible use of non-portable feature (pre-C99) of the integer division
|
| - with negative result.
