[llvm-dev] EuroLLVM Numerics issues

[Arsenault, Matthew via llvm-dev]

A few things I’ve been thinking about:

  *   Is anyone working on finishing the migration to using the new fneg instruction?
  *   Controls for allowing and/or mandating denormal flushing
     *   Making denormal-fp-math attribute per FP type
     *   FTZ flag
  *   Dealing with constrained and unconstrained versions of target FP intrinsics
  *   Can we define a policy or general direction for snan handling?
     *   Relatedly, llvm.minnum/llvm.maxnum should be renamed to fmin/fmax, and a new set of minnum/maxnum that follow the defined snan behavior are needed. This would give 3 complete sets of min/max intrinsics
     *   Are target features/attributes allowed to change the behavior of standard operations/intrinsics?
  *   Adding FP min/max to atomicrmw, and which versions are needed

All:  There will be a BoF talk at the EuroLLVM conference regarding Numerics (FMF and module flags which control fp behavior and optimization).

Even if you are not going to be in attendance, please reply to this thread as we are collecting open issues and ideas for future direction in all layers of LLVM for which optimizations are controlled by numerics flags. Please read over the numerics blog if you like for reference material:
