History of Major Changes to TestFloat, up to Release 2a John R. Hauser 1998 December 17 The TestFloat releases parallel those of SoftFloat, on which TestFloat is based. Each TestFloat release also incorporates all bug fixes from the corresponding release of SoftFloat. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Release 2a (1998 December) -- Added support for testing conversions between floating-point and 64-bit integers. -- Improved the makefiles. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Release 2 (1997 June) -- Integrated the generation of test cases and the checking of system results into a single program. (Before they were separate programs, normally joined by explicit command-line pipes.) -- Improved the sequence of test cases. -- Added support for testing extended double precision and quadruple precision. -- Made program output more readable, and added new command arguments. -- Reduced dependence on the quality of the standard `random' function for generating test cases. (Previously naively expected `random' to be able to generate good random bits for the entire machine word width.) -- Created `testsoftfloat', with its own simpler complete software floating- point (``slowfloat'') for comparison purposes. -- Made some changes to the source file structure, including renaming `environment.h' to `milieu.h' (to avoid confusion with environment variables). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Release 1a (1996 July) -- Added the `-tininessbefore' and `-tininessafter' options to control whether tininess should be detected before or after rounding. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Release 1 (1996 July) -- Original release. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
