33  * fmax(x,y) returns the larger of x and y.  If just one of the
34  * arguments is NaN, fmax returns the other argument.  If both
35  * arguments are NaN, fmax returns NaN (ideally, one of the
36  * argument NaNs).
37  *
38  * C99 does not require that fmax(-0,+0) = fmax(+0,-0) = +0, but
39  * ideally fmax should satisfy this.
40  *
41  * C99 makes no mention of exceptions for fmax.  I suppose ideally
42  * either fmax never raises any exceptions or else it raises the
43  * invalid operation exception if and only if some argument is a
44  * signaling NaN.  In the former case, fmax should always return
45  * one of its arguments.  In the latter, fmax shouldn't return a
46  * signaling NaN, although when both arguments are signaling NaNs,
47  * this ideal is at odds with the stipulation that fmax should
48  * always return one of its arguments.
49  *
50  * Commutativity of fmax follows from the properties listed above
51  * except when both arguments are NaN.  In that case, fmax may be
52  * declared commutative by fiat because there is no portable way
53  * to tell different NaNs apart.  Ideally fmax would be truly com-
54  * mutative for all arguments.
55  *
56  * On SPARC V8, fmax must involve tests and branches.  Ideally,
57  * an implementation on SPARC V9 should avoid branching, using
58  * conditional moves instead where necessary, and be as efficient
59  * as possible in its use of other resources.
60  *
61  * It appears to be impossible to attain all of the aforementioned
62  * ideals simultaneously.  The implementation below satisfies the
63  * following (on SPARC):
64  *
65  * 1. fmax(x,y) returns the larger of x and y if neither x nor y
66  *    is NaN and the non-NaN argument if just one of x or y is NaN.
67  *    If both x and y are NaN, fmax(x,y) returns x unchanged.
68  * 2. fmax(-0,+0) = fmax(+0,-0) = +0.
69  * 3. If either argument is a signaling NaN, fmax raises the invalid
70  *    operation exception.  Otherwise, it raises no exceptions.
