msun: signed overflow in atan2
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
As a component of atan2(y, x), the case of x == 1.0 is farmed out to
atan(y). The current implementation of this comparison is vulnerable
to signed integer underflow (that is, undefined behavior), and it's
performed in a somewhat more complicated way than it need be. Change
it to not be quite so cute, rather directly comparing the high/low
bits of x to the specific IEEE-754 bit pattern that encodes 1.0.

Note that while there are three different e_atan* files in the
relevant directory, only this one needs fixing. e_atan2f.c already
compares against the full bit pattern encoding 1.0f, while
e_atan2l.cuses bitwise-ands/ors/nots and so doesn't require a change.

Closes #130
