[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] softfloat: fix floatx80_is_{quiet, signaling}_nan()

[Aurelien Jarno]

floatx80_is_{quiet,signaling}_nan() functions are incorrectly detecting
the type of NaN, depending on SNAN_BIT_IS_ONE, one of the two is
returning the correct value, and the other true for any kind of NaN.

This patch fixes that by applying the same kind of comparison as for
other float formats, but taking into account the explicit bit.

If a is {0x7ffff,0} (ie +inf) this will return true, which is wrong.
Do you want "<=" instead?

Actually, will
  return ((a.high & 0x7fff) == 0x7fff) && (a.low >= LIT64(0x4000000000000000));
do? Untested but I think it will do the right thing. I'm not sure
why this code has those bit64 casts, incidentally, since a.low is
already a uint64_t.

Also, maybe we should have a comment somewhere explaining
why this is different from the other NaN functions (ie that the
x80 format has an explicit bit and the others don't) ?

Correct, I swapped the operands at the last minute to match the other
functions, but without changing the sign.

The explicit bit might be one for a NaN, so you should filter it first.

Don't know either, but as they were already there, I left them.

Good idea, will do.

Whoops, yes, explicit-bit-set but signalling-bit-clear would be
a false positive.
