[LTP] [PATCH v1] float: convert to new LTP API

[Petr Vorel]

Hi Hongchen,

thank you for your effort, but much more needs to be done.

Code in whole project (all sources in testcases/misc/math/float) is very old and
IMHO weird. I still wonder why testing float / math functions requires creating
files, using pthread (in thread_code.c), ... It'd be worth to have look whether
current approach is really useful before spending time to rewrite it.

Some notes to your rewrite. main.c and thread_code.c should be turned into
header file (e.g. float.h) with functions being static inline. Because
including C files is no-go.

IMHO this should not be needed, everything should be in test temporary
directory, there is no need to put it elsewhere.

I'd get rid of the debugging (important things should be always printed).

There is SAFE_MALLOC(), no need to check for NULL.

Also code style suggests it's very old. brackets around integer in return is
quite strange (i.e. "return (0);").

generate() function which runs binary should be replaced with tst_cmd().
IMHO we don't need to check for $LTPROOT, because we expect PATH to be set
correctly.

I'm not sure if this is portable for all archs and I'd use #define at the top.

struct tst_test test should be defined in float*.c tests, not in this
common file included by tests.

Kind regards,
