@FioraAeterna As the author of that code, I can say the claim is wrong. All actual time spent printing fp is in integer code.
@RichFelker I suspect "all the actual time printing FP is in integer code" stops being true when FP is 100-1000x slower
@RichFelker (someone linked these tweets on #llvm though, so hopefully whatever the issue is will get resolved? yay)
@FioraAeterna The reason we use ld internally in @musllibc is avoiding code duplication and x87 extended-precision bugs.
@RichFelker @FioraAeterna Does this remain true if long double is changed to be software-emulated? Also, is this true for %a formatting?
@Sunfishcode @FioraAeterna Actually %a peels mantissa a nibble at a time rather than 9 decimal digits at a time, so it is impacted.
