2012-12-29 Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh@redhat.com>
* sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/branred.h: Include dla.h.
(split): Use macro CN instead of the bare value.
* sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/dla.h: Add comment to explain why CN
could be used.
* sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_pow.c (__ieee754_pow): Use CN
instead of the bare value.
(power1): Likewise.
