- Factor out code to query and modify the sign bit of a floatingpoint value as an integer. This also works if none of the targets integer types is big enough to hold all bits of the floatingpoint value.
- Legalize FABS(x) as FCOPYSIGN(x, 0.0) if FCOPYSIGN is available, otherwise perform bit manipulation on the sign bit. The previous code used "x >u 0 ? x : -x" which is incorrect for x being -0.0! It also takes 34 instructions on ARM Cortex-M4. With this patch we only require 5: vldr d0, LCPI0_0 vmov r2, r3, d0 lsrs r2, r3, #31 bfi r1, r2, #31, #1 bx lr (This could be further improved if the compiler would recognize that r2, r3 is zero).
- Only lower FCOPYSIGN(x, y) = sign(x) ? -FABS(x) : FABS(x) if FABS is available otherwise perform bit manipulation on the sign bit.
- Perform the sign(x) test by masking out the sign bit and comparing with 0 rather than shifting the sign bit to the highest position and testing for "<s 0". For x86 copysignl (on 80bit values) this gets us: testl $32768, %eax rather than: shlq $48, %rax sets %al testb %al, %al
