Looks good! I think CI is failing though? |

@alexcrichton they are failing on release mode only because my implementation of these in rustc had a bug. I've fixed it here: rust-lang/rust#49231 I'll close this until that lands, and reopen it again once the tests pass. |

fix vector fmin/fmax non-fast/fast intrinsics NaN handling This bugs shows up in release mode tests of `stdsimd`: rust-lang/stdarch#391 . The intrinsics are thoroughly tested there for roundoff errors, NaN, and overflow behavior. The problem was that the non-fast intrinsics where specifying `NoNaNs == true`, which meant that they don't support NaNs. This is incorrect, the non-fast intrinsics should handle NaNs properly. Also, the "fast" intrinsics where specifying `NoNaNs == false` which meant that they support NaNs and then fast-math, which probably disables this support. This was not intended either. I've added a comment specifying what the boolean flags do.

This PR documents the semantics of the arithmetic reductions
sum,product,min, andmaxfor integers in the presence of integer overflow, and for floating point numbers in the presence of round-off errors andNaNs.It does so by adding test for these semantics for all portable vectors involved.
