Document IEEE floating point better. Don’t suggest that Emacs
might use some floating-point format other than IEEE format, as
Emacs currently assumes IEEE in several places and there seems
little point in removing those assumptions.
Without this fix, Emacs can get into a tight loop reporting
a range error when calculating timestamps.
* doc/lispref/numbers.texi (Integer Basics):
* src/alloc.c (syms_of_alloc): Document this.
* src/bignum.c (make_bignum_bits): Always allow bignums
of at least twice the width of (u)intmax_t.
Change logb to return -infinity, +infinity, and NaN respectively.
Formerly logb returned an extreme fixnum to represent
infinity, but this is no longer the right thing to do now that
we have bignums and there is no extreme integer.
* doc/lispref/numbers.texi (Float Basics), etc/NEWS: Document.
* src/floatfns.c (Flogb): Implement this.
Also, since Emacs historically reported a range error when
rounding operations overflowed, do that consistently for all
bignum overflows.
* doc/lispref/errors.texi (Standard Errors):
* doc/lispref/numbers.texi (Integer Basics): Document range errors.
* src/alloc.c (range_error): Rename from integer_overflow.
All uses changed.
* src/floatfns.c (rounding_driver): When the result of a floating
point rounding operation does not fit into a fixnum, put it
into a bignum instead of always signaling an range error.
* test/src/floatfns-tests.el (divide-extreme-sign):
These tests now return the mathematically-correct answer
instead of signaling an error.
(bignum-round): Check that integers round to themselves.
libgmp calls ‘abort’ when given numbers too big for its
internal data structures. The numeric limit is large and
platform-dependent; with 64-bit GMP 6.1.2 it is around
2**2**37. Work around the problem by refusing to call libgmp
functions with arguments that would cause an abort. With luck
libgmp will have a better way to do this in the future.
Also, introduce a variable integer-width that lets the user
control how large bignums can be. This currently defaults
to 2**16, i.e., it allows bignums up to 2**2**16. This
should be enough for ordinary computation, and should
help Emacs to avoid thrashing or hanging.
Problem noted by Pip Cet (Bug#32463#71).
* doc/lispref/numbers.texi, etc/NEWS:
Document recent bignum changes, including this one.
Improve documentation for bitwise operations, in the light
of bignums.
* src/alloc.c (make_number): Enforce integer-width.
(integer_overflow): New function.
(xrealloc_for_gmp, xfree_for_gmp):
Move here from emacs.c, as it's memory allocation.
(init_alloc): Initialize GMP here, rather than in emacs.c.
(integer_width): New var.
* src/data.c (GMP_NLIMBS_MAX, NLIMBS_LIMIT): New constants.
(emacs_mpz_size, emacs_mpz_mul)
(emacs_mpz_mul_2exp, emacs_mpz_pow_ui): New functions.
(arith_driver, Fash, expt_integer): Use them.
(expt_integer): New function, containing integer code
that was out of place in floatfns.c.
(check_bignum_size, xmalloc_for_gmp): Remove.
* src/emacs.c (main): Do not initialize GMP here.
* src/floatfns.c (Fexpt): Use expt_integer, which
now contains integer code moved from here.
* src/lisp.h (GMP_NUMB_BITS): Define if gmp.h doesn’t.
Problem and initial solution reported by Andy Moreton in:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2018-08/msg00503.html
* doc/lispref/numbers.texi (Math Functions): expt integer
overflow no longer causes truncation; it now signals an error
since bignum overflow is a big deal.
* src/floatfns.c (Fexpt): Support bignum arguments.
* test/src/floatfns-tests.el (bignum-expt): New test.
* doc/lispref/numbers.texi (Bitwise Operations): Document that
the traditional (lsh A B) behavior is for fixnums, and that it
is an error if A and B are both negative and A is a bignum.
See Bug#32463.
* lisp/subr.el (lsh): New function, moved here from src/data.c.
* src/data.c (ash_lsh_impl): Remove, moving body into Fash
since it’s the only caller now.
(Fash): Check for out-of-range counts. If COUNT is zero,
return first argument instead of going through libgmp. Omit
lsh code since lsh is now done in Lisp. Add code for shifting
fixnums right, to avoid a round trip through libgmp.
(Flsh): Remove; moved to lisp/subr.el.
* test/lisp/international/ccl-tests.el (shift):
Test for traditional lsh behavior, instead of assuming
lsh is like ash when bignums are present.
* test/src/data-tests.el (data-tests-logand)
(data-tests-logior, data-tests-logxor, data-tests-ash-lsh):
New tests.
* etc/NEWS: Enhance the announcement of bignums.
* doc/lispref/numbers.texi (Integer Basics): Add a missing
period. Reported by Basil L. Contovounesios <contovob@tcd.ie>.
* configure.ac (HAVE_GMP): Rename ‘configure’ option from
--without-mini-gmp to --with-libgmp. All uses changed.
* doc/lispref/numbers.texi (Predicates on Numbers): Large
integers are always available. Clarify how eq works on them.
* doc/lispref/numbers.texi (Float Basics, Comparison of Numbers):
Improve documentation of ‘=’ vs ‘eq’, ‘eql’ and ‘equal’
when NaNs and signed zeros are involved.
Fix a bug where eql, sxhash-eql, memql, and make-hash-table
were not consistent on NaNs. Likewise for equal,
sxhash-equal, member, and make-hash-table. Some of these
functions ignored NaN significands, whereas others treated
them as significant. It's more logical to treat significands
as significant, and this typically makes eql a bit more
efficient on floats, with just one integer comparison instead
of one to three floating-point comparisons.
* doc/lispref/numbers.texi (Float Basics): Document that
NaNs are never numerically equal, but might be eql.
* src/fns.c (WORDS_PER_DOUBLE): Move to top level of this file.
(union double_and_words): Now named, and at the top level of this file.
(same_float): New function.
(Fmemql, Feql, internal_equal, cmpfn_eql): Use it, so that
the corresponding functions treat NaNs consistently.
(sxhash_float): Simplify based on above-mentioned changes.
* test/src/fns-tests.el (fns-tests-equality-nan): New test.
* doc/lispref/numbers.texi (Integer Basics): Clarify that
out-of-range integers are treated as floating point only when the
integers are decimal.
* etc/NEWS: Mention changes.
* src/editfns.c (styled_format): Use %.0f when formatting %d or %i
values outside machine integer range, to avoid losing info.
Signal an error for %o or %x values that are too large to be
formatted, to avoid losing info.

The manuals often used quotes ``...'' when it is better to use @dfn or
@code or capitalized words or no quoting at all. For example, there is
no need for the `` and '' in “if a variable has one effect for
@code{nil} values and another effect for ``non-@code{nil}'' values”.
Reword the Emacs, Lisp intro, and Lisp reference manuals to eliminate
unnecessary quoting like this, and to use @dfn etc. instead when called
for (Bug#21472).
* doc/lispref/numbers.texi (Float Basics): Improve ldexp documentation.
* src/floatfns.c (Fldexp): Require 2 args. Avoid undefined behavior

* doc/lispref/numbers.texi (Numeric Conversions, Rounding Operations):

This way, the unusual !HAVE_RINT case acts like the usual
HAVE_RINT case, and we can fix the documentation accordingly.

Document the basics a bit more precisely. Say more clearly
that Emacs floating-point numbers are IEEE doubles on all

Hyphenate "floating-point" iff it precedes a noun.
Reword to avoid nouns and hyphenation when that's easy.
Prefer "integer" to "integer number" and "is floating point"
to "is a floating point number".
Prefer "@minus{}" to "-" when it's a minus.
