C23 introduced new functions fminimum_num and fmaximum_num, and they
follow the minimumNumber and maximumNumber of IEEE754-2019. Let's
introduce new intrinsics to support them.
This patch introduces support only support for scalar values. The
support of
vector (vp, vp.reduce, vector.reduce),
experimental.constrained
will be added in future patches.
With this patch, MIPSr6 and LoongArch can work out of box with
fcanonical and fmax/fmin.
Aarch64/PowerPC64 can use the same login as MIPSr6 and LoongArch, while
they have no fcanonical support yet.
I will add it in future patches.
The FMIN/FMAX of RISC-V instructions follows the
minimumNumber/maximumNumber of IEEE754-2019. We can just add it in
future patch.
Background
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-fix-llvm-min-f-and-llvm-max-f-intrinsics/79735
Currently we have fminnum/fmaxnum, which have different behavior on
different platform for NUM vs sNaN:
1) Fallback to fmin(3)/fmax(3): return qNaN.
2) ARM64/ARM32+Neon: same as libc.
3) MIPSr6/LoongArch/RISC-V: return NUM.
And the fix of fminnum/fmaxnum to follow minNUM/maxNUM of IEEE754-2008
will submit as separated patches.
As far as I can tell, this pull request was not approved, and
did not go through an RFC on discourse.
This reverts commit 89881480030f48f83af668175b70a9798edca2fb.
This reverts commit 225d8fc8eb24fb797154c1ef6dcbe5ba033142da.
Currently, on different platform, the behaivor of llvm.minnum is
different if one operand is sNaN:
When we compare sNaN vs NUM:
ARM/AArch64/PowerPC: follow the IEEE754-2008's minNUM: return qNaN.
RISC-V/Hexagon follow the IEEE754-2019's minimumNumber: return NUM. X86:
Returns NUM but not same with IEEE754-2019's minimumNumber as
+0.0 is not always greater than -0.0.
MIPS/LoongArch/Generic: return NUM.
LIBCALL: returns qNaN.
So, let's introduce llvm.minmumnum/llvm.maximumnum, which always follow
IEEE754-2019's minimumNumber/maximumNumber.
Half-fix: #93033
