CVS commit: src/lib/libm/src



Module Name:    src
Committed By:   riastradh
Date:           Wed Jul 17 12:00:13 UTC 2024

Modified Files:
        src/lib/libm/src: math_private.h

Log Message:
libm/src/math_private.h: Tidy up comments and whitespace.

Clarify which words are which when ambiguous.

Say `significand', not `mantissa'; we're not talking about books of
log tables here.  (Strictly speaking, this may refer either to what
IEEE 754 calls the trailing significand field of the binary encoding,
which is a sequence of bits rather than a real number in [1,2), or,
for ld80 with an explicit 1-bit, what might be called the significand
field since it's not just the trailing part after the dot.  But the
term `significand' will serve as a proxy for these cases.)
