I am not sure if 

http://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/mathcw/

rounds correctly or not on all the functions. It does an excellent job
on the arithmetic (+, -, *, /, sqrt, and FMA) operations for both binary
and decimal formats of different precisions as specified by 754-2008. I
did not check all the elementary functions.

Did anyone use this library?
