My understanding is that
- mode M=0 matches IEEE 754-2008 `minNum`
- mode M=1 matches IEEE 754-2019 `minimum`
- mode M=4 _mostly_ matches IEEE 754-2019 `minimumNumber`
The only difference between our mode M=4 and `minimumNumber` is that M=4 may return an input SNaN as-is, without changing it to the corresponding QNaN. We do not have a mode that matches `minimumNumber` precisely. Does this matter, given that this is a non-strict IR opcode? (Should there be a strict variant?)
However, I keep being confused by what exactly the various LLVM IR nodes are supposed to correspond to. Does `STRICT_FMINNUM` actually implement the IEEE 754-2008 variant exactly? This is not clear to me from the current documentation; it seems there have been several attempts at "clarification" recently that were reverted again?
