I'm using various things that uses numpy. I have had a problem with
long double versions of log functions on x86, and with other functions
on arm. I don't actually need these functions, but numpy wraps them and
thus the shlib won't load. The numpy package build succeeds. I think
it's a bug by inspection that they are missing so the why I care bit is
not important.
1) One case is
log1pl
log2l
expm1l
being missing in libm. I've worked around that by a
too-gross-too-commit kludge that I've appended; basically implementing
them by calling the double version. I now realize that I should perhaps
instead define aliases, following how long double function are provided
on arm, and perhaps actually have code the processes long doubles,
perhaps stealing from FreeBSD.
2) The other case is frexpl. It seems the plan is for each function to
have a fool impl that is #ifdef HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE, and for the foo impl
to have aliases from fool #ifndef HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE. But some of these,
include frexpl, are missing. I have appended a patch that adds this.
There appear to be multiple similar cases of missing long double
variants on arm.
3) I'm boggled at how this works in the sources. s_frexp.c is not
included in libm; a comment says it is in libc. I can't find it in C
sources or arm assembly. On earmv7hf-el, I find frexp and frexpf in
libm and frexp in libc. Trying to rebuild libm and libc after my change
results in nothing happening.
I would appreciate:
clues to how frexp flows from source to libs
advice on the right way to address this.
