fast.math: Is inline assembler really faster than compiler builtin?

1

GDC feeds all overflow intrinsics to the __builtin_xxx functions. https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDC/blob/16a15523c01e996660a0ad8b8043dd97d36535ee/gcc/d/d-codegen.cc#L3455-L3463

std.math.exponential: Implement log/log2/log10 for double- and float-precision

4

Software implementations are unchanged - only conditionally compiling in the `log(x) = z + z^^3 R(z) / S(z)` branch depending on the float format (as can be seen when reviewing...

std.complex: Add member function to returnComplex as a native type

5

So that `std.complex` can be passed to extern(C) complex functions where ABI compatibility is required.

std.math.exponential: Implement pow() for double precision

2

Double precision is enough for most cases, and results in [faster code than x87](https://d.godbolt.org/z/3E6n7ba4c). Not doing float precision, because existing tests don't account for an even higher loss of [precision](https://github.com/dlang/phobos/blob/ea805977656309e1d8f23b30130ecf8632056b1b/std/math/exponential.d#L147)....

std.math: Add RealRep union for accessing floating point bits via a union.

11

As I'd like to see this move forwards, but am in the middle of finishing up work on new ports (making sure that 128-bit is working properly for both IEEE...

[big feature] Implement core.math.pow() for ^^ operator

2

Adds two new functions for the power operator: ``` typeof(X * Y) pow(X, Y) if (IntOrFloat!X && Int!Y); typeof(X * Y) pow(X, Y) if (IntOrFloat!X && Float!Y); ``` Lowers `x...

Move usage fields from Param to DMDparam

These are driver-specific, rather than language tuning.

Move issue 23112 check to front-end semantic

1

This code should fail even when just checking syntax (`-o-`), not at the codegen stage.
