Thanks a lot. Understood. While in the process of adapting the code,
I came across the implementation of scalbnl(), and I'm not sure if
I found a mistake or if it's correct: lines 23 to 27 of src/math/scalbnl.c
use MANT_DIG but hardcode it as 113 both when long double is
binary128 and when it's 80bit extended (where MANT_DIG is 64).
By comparison, looking at the source of the scalbn() versions for
float and double, I'd say there's a mistake in the long double version,
but I've never written that function myself, so I'm not in a position
to affirm it for sure.
Kind regards, and thanks a lot,
César
