[libc-commits] [PATCH] D117590: [libc] Implement correct rounding with all rounding modes for hypot functions.

[Paul Zimmermann via libc-commits]

       Dear Tue,

> I've tried with using the 0x1p0f + 0x1p-24f != 0x1p0f instead of get_round() == FE_UPWARD, and it does make the perf tests on normal range ~ 5% faster.
> But this is due to the compiler optimized away the expression (making it always False), and in turn, making the function not correctly rounded for all rounding modes any more: https://godbolt.org/z/87z4bWE9P

yes, you need to add -frounding-math to the compiler options.

> And if feel like if we add extra stuff to prevent the compiler from optimizing the expression away, it would bring the performance back to what we got with get_round() == FE_UPWARD.
> This is also belong to the exceptional cases where we short-circuit the results, and so at least any changes inside would not affect the worst case performance.

please can you try with -frounding-math and check if the perf tests are
faster and slower?
