Description Joseph Myers 2012-03-20 20:40:43 UTC
x86 (32-bit only) has its own implementations of cexp, cexpf and cexpl which use fsincos with inaccurate argument reduction and so suffer from the same problems sincos did when it used fsincos (e.g., cexp (0x1p1023 * I) has no relation to the correct value).  These should probably be removed (with tests for arguments with large imaginary part added similar to those for sincos) so the generic C version is used for x86.
