-Known bugs:
-
-* The overflow/underflow exceptions may be badly handled in some functions;
- specially when the intermediary internal results have exponent which
- exceeds the hardware limit (2^30 for a 32 bits CPU, and 2^62 for a 64 bits
- CPU) or the exact result is close to an overflow/underflow threshold.
-
-* Under Linux/x86 with the traditional FPU, some functions do not work
- if the FPU rounding precision has been changed to single (this is a
- bad practice and should be useless, but one never knows what other
- software will do).
-
-* Some functions do not use MPFR_SAVE_EXPO_* macros, thus do not behave
- correctly in a reduced exponent range.
-
-* Function hypot gives incorrect result when on the one hand the difference
- between parameters' exponents is near 2*MPFR_EMAX_MAX and on the other hand
- the output precision or the precision of the parameter with greatest
- absolute value is greater than 2*MPFR_EMAX_MAX-4.
-
-Potential bugs:
-
-* Possible incorrect results due to internal underflow, which can lead to
- a huge loss of accuracy while the error analysis doesn't take that into
- account. If the underflow occurs at the last function call (just before
- the MPFR_CAN_ROUND), the result should be correct (or MPFR gets into an
- infinite loop). TODO: check the code and the error analysis.
-
-* Possible bugs with huge precisions (> 2^30) and a 32-bit ABI, in particular
- undetected integer overflows. TODO: use the MPFR_ADD_PREC macro.
-
-* Possible bugs if the chosen exponent range does not allow to represent
- the range [1/16, 16].
-
-* Possible infinite loop in some functions for particular cases: when
- the exact result is an exactly representable number or the middle of
- consecutive two such numbers. However for non-algebraic functions, it is
- believed that no such case exists, except the well-known cases like cos(0)=1,
- exp(0)=1, and so on, and the x^y function when y is an integer or y=1/2^k.
-
-* The mpfr_set_ld function may be quite slow if the long double type has an
- exponent of more than 15 bits.
-
-* mpfr_set_d may give wrong results on some non-IEEE architectures.
-
-* Error analysis for some functions may be incorrect (out-of-date due
- to modifications in the code?).
-
-* Possible use of non-portable feature (pre-C99) of the integer division
- with negative result.
