Re: [PATCH 1/4 v3] [SH/SH4]: Add support fedisableexcept,feenableexcept, fegetexcept and feupdateenv


> Maybe something wired happened on my environment. Hmm...

The problem is two-fold at least.  The first one is that my kernel
has a bug with supplementing fcnvsd instruction for denormal float
numbers and raised a unexpected fpu error exception.  It broke my
tests.  The 2nd one is that we defined fexcept_t as unsigned short.
There are codes like

  fexcept_t temp;
  _FPU_GETCW (temp);
  ...
  _FPU_SETCW (temp);

in the current sh4/fpu/f*.c routines where temp is zero extended
when calling __set_fpscr.  This clears the PR flag in fpscr and
breaks the floating operations very badly.  I guess that the odd
behavior of test_double you described can be explained with it.
I'm testing the patch below.

Regards,
