The generate_canonical tests in libstdc++ have been reworked to provide better coverage and clarity. Test names now reflect the size of the generator range, and duplicated code is extracted into a run_generator function. The update expands non-power of two ranges to cover all IEC559 floating-point types. The tested values are selected based on the size of the mantissa, accommodating different long double representations, and preventing infinite loops by limiting skips per element.
