[ConstantFolding] Use APFloat for constant folding. NFC
ClosedPublic

Authored by sepavloff on May 18 2021, 1:31 AM.

Details

Summary

Replace use of host floating types with operations on APFloat when it is
possible. Use of APFloat makes analysis more convenient and facilitates
constant folding in the case of non-default FP environment.

It looks like this is just refactoring, besides the changes to the floating-point compares. That's okay, but not really consistent with the commit message; do you have some future work planned?

This isn't precisely equivalent to the existing code.

The patch D102673 implements folding of constrained intrinsics, which are used in the case of non-default environment.

Could you please point out the case when this code behaves differently from the existing one?

This handles NaNs differently.

Strictly speaking you are right. Comparison in C is ordered, so V > 0.0 gives false for NaN and ConstantFoldFP` is not called. However all these functions (log* and sqrt*) have specified behavior when their argument is NaN, so the final result must be the same. Other similar functions like sin are called for NaN arguments.

If you want to change this, please add test coverage.

Things are even simpler. The code above contains a check:

if (!U.isFinite())
  return nullptr;

So NaNs cannot reach this code.

Oh, that's fine then. :)
