This table is used twice in core::num::dec2flt::algorithm::power_of_ten.
According to the semantics of const, a separate huge definition of the
table is inlined at both places.
fn power_of_ten(e: i16) -> Fp {
assert!(e >= table::MIN_E);
let i = e - table::MIN_E;
let sig = table::POWERS.0[i as usize];
let exp = table::POWERS.1[i as usize];
Fp { f: sig, e: exp }
}
Theoretically this gets cleaned up by optimization passes, but in
practice I am experiencing a miscompile from LTO on this code. Making
the table a static, which would only be defined a single time and not
require attention from LTO, eliminates the miscompile and seems
semantically more appropriate anyway. A separate bug report on the LTO
bug is forthcoming.
