Description:
============
Install a Power 8 machine with Ubuntu LE guest VM.
Then compile and execute the below test case code.
root at ubuntu:~# cat frexpl_example.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main(void)
{
union { long double ld; double d[2]; int i[4]; long long l[2]; } x;
int expon;
x.d[0] = 0x1p0;
x.d[1] = -0x1p-106;
printf ("%La %13a %13a 0x%16llx 0x%16llx\n",
x.ld, x.d[0], x.d[1], x.l[0], x.l[1]);
x.ld = frexpl (x.ld, &expon);
printf ("%La %13a %13a 0x%16llx 0x%16llx\n",
x.ld, x.d[0], x.d[1], x.l[0], x.l[1]);
printf ("expon = %d\n", expon);
return 0;
}
