Re: [PATCH] Fix docs for scalb* and significand* functions

[Roland McGrath <roland at hack dot frob dot com>]

Those changes are good.

Please follow the conventions for posting patches, which say to include the
ChangeLog fragment separate from the patch.

The log entry for a .texi file change should mention the node name in the
same way that the entry for a code change mentions the function name.
C-x 4 a will do this right for you.

Do you think this will be your only contribution to libc?
If not, then please get your copyright papers in order and
get yourself set up to do your own commits.

If you don't expect to contribute more in the future, then this alone is
trivial enough not to require copyright papers and I can commit for you.

If someone is looking for a helpful project that doesn't involve hacking
the library code itself, then a cool thing would be to write a test that
massages the summary.texi file into pairs of (header, prototype) and then
generates C code including the header and re-declaring the prototype, so
that we'll see errors when the prototypes in the manual don't match what's
actually in the headers.


Thanks,
Roland
