Description Florian Weimer 2019-10-22 14:09:16 UTC
We should backport this enhancement to benefit Clang:

    math: Enable some math builtins for clang
    
    This patch enable the builtin usage for clang for the C99 functions
    fpclassify, isfinite, isnormal, isnan, isinf, and sigbit.  This allows
    clang optimize the calls on frontend instead of call the appropriate
    glibc symbols.
    
    Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu. I checked the supported
    version for each builtin based on released version from clang/llvm.
    
            * math/math.h (fpclassify, isfinite, isnormal, isnan): Use builtin for
            clang 2.8.
            (signbit): Use builtin for clang 3.3.
            (isinf): Use builtin for clang 3.7.

This should also be backported into Fedora 30+.

Verified, glibc uses __builtin versions of fpclassify signbit isfinite isnormal isnan isinf functions with clang.
