[Qemu-devel] [Bug 645662] Re: QEMU x87 emulation of trig and other complex ops is only at 64-bit precision, not 80-bit

[Arno Wagner]

That explains it. For most operations that approach works well as
basically nobody uses the 80 bit formats directly anyways. Unfortunately
asinh() is very badly conditioned in the region tested and it is not
enough.

A possible approach to fix this would be to use long double (128 bit)
were available instead of just double and to document this limitation
for double.

Title:
  QEMU x87 emulation of trig and other complex ops is only at 64-bit
  precision, not 80-bit

Status in QEMU:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When doing the regression tests for Python 3.1.2 with Qemu 0.12.5, (Linux 
version 2.6.26-2-686 (Debian 2.6.26-25lenny1)),
  gcc (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2, Python compiled from sources within qemu,
  3 math tests fail, apparently because the floating point unit is buggy. Qmeu 
was compiled from original sources
  on Debian Lenny with kernel  2.6.34.6 from kernel.org, gcc  (Debian 
4.3.2-1.1) 4.3. 

  Regression testing errors:
