Could you please elaborate on how the final bit (I assume you mean the final bit of the mantissa of the input) would be useful? I would have thought that *just* the maximal error for a function (maybe per-architecture, but not necessarily) would be sufficient, given that we already do such a manual check when one updates ULPs; in fact I briefly pondered over such an approach when I was trying to generate test outputs for the new test cases and it seemed like the right thing to do.
