[Bug math/14784] New: Spurious underflows from fma when a * b is small


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14784

             Bug #: 14784
           Summary: Spurious underflows from fma when a * b is small
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.16
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: math
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: jsm28@gcc.gnu.org
    Classification: Unclassified


fma (a, b, c) gives spurious underflow exceptions in some cases when a * b is
sufficiently small that the implementation uses a * b + c for the computation,
but the final result does not underflow.  Example, on x86: fmal (0x1p-16382L,
-0x1p-16382L, 0x1p16383L).
