How did you use `ilogbl`? I built local Clang with PowerPC support, this worked fine to me: ``` static_assert(__builtin_ilogbl(-0x1p-64) == -64); static_assert(__builtin_ilogbl(-0x1p-1074L) == -1074); // smaller exponents (< -1074) don't work, too small number ``` I would be glad for any example where constant ilogb would work incorrectly but runtime ilogb correctly. Unfortunately I can't make up such number because I navigate not so good enough in IEEE754 corner cases =( > This the internal representation still 80-bit for platforms where long double > uses the IEEE binary 128-bit format? I just checked with the debugger, the `-target ppc64le` parameter actually makes the constant evaluator use internal **128**-bit format for long double. Yeah, this contradicts to some points what I wrote earlier... =( Repository: rG LLVM Github Monorepo CHANGES SINCE LAST ACTION https://reviews.llvm.org/D136568/new/ https://reviews.llvm.org/D136568 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
