I'm willing to extend the ABI/API freeze to July 13th for the ppc64le
float128 changes, to allow those to go into the glibc 2.28 release.
i just posted math patches which would be nice to have in 2.28
there are two parts:
- the first does not change abi and provides new implementations
with significant performance improvements,
- the second changes abi by adding new symbol versions that don't
do SVID error handling and further improves performance a bit.
these require non-trivial amount of review and testing and i'd
like to extend the review period a bit before the freeze for
these too. i think the first part has a good chance to get
into an acceptable state. the second part is independent but
would be nice to get it in 2.28 too.
thoughts?
