Bug #: 15421
Summary: lgamma wrongly sets signgam for ISO C
Product: glibc
Version: 2.17
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: math
AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: jsm28@gcc.gnu.org
Classification: Unclassified
The lgamma (and likewise lgammaf, lgammal) function wrongly sets the signgam
variable even when building for strict ISO C conformance (-std=c99 / -std=c11),
although the user may define such a variable and it's only in the
implementation namespace for POSIX with XSI extensions enabled.
In http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-04/msg00767.html I describe a
possible approach for fixing this, involving new symbol versions so existing
binaries get existing setting of signgam while new binaries can be built for
ISO C semantics without necessarily including <math.h>, or can define
_XOPEN_SOURCE and include <math.h> to get setting of signgam.
(The versions in bits/math-finite.h use __USE_ISOC99 as the condition for
setting signgam, which is safe for ISO C but not correct for current POSIX with
XSI extensions enabled, which is based on C99 but should set signgam.)
