History of Major Changes to TestFloat, up to Release 2a |
|
|
|
John R. Hauser |
|
1998 December 17 |
|
|
|
|
|
The TestFloat releases parallel those of SoftFloat, on which TestFloat is |
|
based. Each TestFloat release also incorporates all bug fixes from the |
|
corresponding release of SoftFloat. |

Release 2 (1997 June) |
|
|
|
-- Integrated the generation of test cases and the checking of system |
|
results into a single program. (Before they were separate programs, |
|
normally joined by explicit command-line pipes.) |
|
|
|
-- Improved the sequence of test cases. |
|
|
|
-- Added support for testing extended double precision and quadruple |
|
precision. |
|
|
|
-- Made program output more readable, and added new command arguments. |
|
|
|
-- Reduced dependence on the quality of the standard `random' function for |
|
generating test cases. (Previously naively expected `random' to be able |
|
to generate good random bits for the entire machine word width.) |
|
|
|
-- Created `testsoftfloat', with its own simpler complete software floating- |
|
point (``slowfloat'') for comparison purposes. |
|
|
|
-- Made some changes to the source file structure, including renaming |
|
`environment.h' to `milieu.h' (to avoid confusion with environment |
|
variables). |

|
whether tininess should be detected before or after rounding. |
