I take it that the ABI on tilegx32 allows the lround alias to llround
No, it doesn't - I missed this possibility. I assume the best fix is to
provide an lround override in sysdeps/tile/tilegx/tilegx32/s_lround.c
that invokes llround() and then sign-extends the result?
But, why doesn't MIPS itself use this approach?
Thanks for catching this!
Actually, it is, of course, a little trickier than that, since
we have to prevent s_llround.c from setting up the alias for
lround() as well. But I think it may make sense to use global
conditional logic to do this. The current users of dbl-64/wordsize-64
are aarch64, alpha, sparc64, and x86_64. So as far as I know, the
question is whether the forthcoming ILP32 version of aarch64 would
benefit from this hack (probably yes) and whether the existing x32
version of x86_64 would (not clear to me, but plausibly better to clean
up the high bits of the returned value). If it's OK to just add
ILP32-conditional logic, we can do use the appended diff.
If not, the simplest thing for me to do would be to just add s_lround.c
and s_llround.c in sysdeps/tile/tilegx/tilegx32 that use the default
versions of dbl-64 and not worry about the slight performance
improvement from using the full 64-bit register size. Or, we could
come up with some way to use a conditional in this code: for example,
just add a random #ifdef, #define it in a tilegx-specific override
of s_llround.c, and #include the standard version explicitly. But
this runs counter to the glibc rule of avoiding #ifdef. I'm not sure what
the cleanest path would be if the use of "#ifdef _LP64" isn't OK.
