Subject: expm1 ulps
If you test glibc on i686 with GCC 4.3, you get a test-ildoubl failure:
Failure: Test: expm1 (1) == M_El - 1.0
Result:
is: 1.71828182845904523532e+00 0xd.bf0a8b14576953500000p-3
should be: 1.71828182845904523543e+00 0xd.bf0a8b14576953600000p-3

ulp : 1.0000

Maximal error of `expm1'
is : 1 ulp
accepted: 0 ulp
What happens is that the inline expansion of expm1l uses __builtin_expm1l,
and GCC 4.3 optimizes calls to __builtin_expm1l with constant argument to
a correctly rounded result using MPFR. The result returned is thus the
value of e-1 rounded once to long double precision. However, the test
expects M_El - 1.0, and the result of rounding e to long double precision,
then subtracting 1, differs in the last place from the result of rounding
e-1 to long double precision (the latter has smaller exponent, and the
last bit is 1).
There are two obvious approaches possible to fixing this. The first patch
below changes the expectation to a decimal expansion for e-1 (taken from
that of M_El) rather than doing arithmetic in the expected value. This in
turn requires ulps to be set for the out-of-line version of expm1. It
might also need ulps to be set for the inline version for older compilers
if they should continue to pass the test, and possibly for other targets.
The second patch below takes the alternative approach of keeping the
existing expectation (which has the wrong bit in the last place) and
setting ulps for the inline expansion of expm1, which avoids the risk of
breaking the test for other targets.

* sysdeps/i386/fpu/libm-test-ulps: Add inline long double ulps for
expm1.
