Subject: [PATCH] utils: Use fma in qemu_strtosz
Date: Sun, 14 Mar 2021 17:48:21 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210314234821.1954428-1-richard.henderson@linaro.org> (raw)
Use fma to simulatneously scale and round up fraction.
The libm function will always return a properly rounded double precision
value, which will eliminate any extra precision the x87 co-processor may
give us, which will keep the output predictable vs other hosts.
Adding DBL_EPSILON while scaling should help with fractions like
12.345, where the closest representable number is actually 12.3449*.
