This directory was an experiment to use floating-point operations to implement
|
||
|
|
the math library when a processor had a floating-point instruction set. The
|
||
|
|
experiment was a failure in that some of the algorithms chosen (e.g. recursive
|
||
|
|
algorithms for sin/cos, etc..) are too simple and do not provide proper accuracy
|
||
|
|
nor handle very large or very small inputs adequately.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The code is considered moth-balled. The stable math library routines can be
|
||
|
|
found in libm/math and the configuration option to use this has been removed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you wish to experiment with the concept, please feel free and report back if
|
||
|
|
you have major improvements.
