and tiny*tiny at compile time. The evaluations are supposed to be done at run time to set the IEEE exception flags. Many other source files in libm and msun are missing this fix. Fixing them is not urgent since the default IEEE exception masks don't allow use of the overflow exception flag. |

Notes:
i. The codes in files ending with ".s" are written in VAX assembly
language. They are intended for VAX computers.
Files that end with ".c" are written in C. They are intended
for either a VAX or a machine that conforms to the IEEE
standard 754 for double precision floating-point arithmetic.
ii. On other than VAX or IEEE machines, run the original math
library, formerly "/usr/lib/libm.a", now "/usr/lib/libom.a", if
nothing better is available.
iii. The trigonometric functions sin/cos/tan/atan2 in files "VAX/sincos.s",
"VAX/tan.s" and "VAX/atan2.s" are different from those in
"IEEE/trig.c" and "IEEE/atan2.c". The VAX assembler code uses the
true value of pi to perform argument reduction, while the C code uses
a machine value of PI (see "IEEE/trig.c").
2. A computer system that conforms to IEEE standard 754 should provide
sqrt(x),
drem(x,p), (double precision remainder function)
copysign(x,y),
finite(x),
scalb(x,N),
logb(x) and
rint(x).
These functions are either required or recommended by the standard.
For convenience, a (slow) C implementation of these functions is
provided in the file "IEEE/support.c".
Warning: The functions in IEEE/support.c are somewhat machine dependent.
Some modifications may be necessary to run them on a different machine.
Currently, if compiled with a suitable flag, "IEEE/support.c" will work
on a National 32000, a Zilog 8000, a VAX, and a SUN (cf. the "Makefile"
in this directory). Invoke the C compiler thus:
cc -c -DVAX IEEE/support.c ... on a VAX, D-format
cc -c -DNATIONAL IEEE/support.c ... on a National 32000
cc -c IEEE/support.c ... on other IEEE machines,
we hope.
Notes:
1. Faster versions of "drem" and "sqrt" for IEEE double precision
(coded in C but intended for assembly language) are given at the
end of "IEEE/support.c" but commented out since they require certain
machine-dependent functions.
2. A fast VAX assembler version of the system supported functions
copysign(), logb(), scalb(), finite(), and drem() appears in file
"VAX/support.s". A fast VAX assembler version of sqrt() is in
file "VAX/sqrt.s".
3. Two formats are supported by all the standard elementary functions:
the VAX D-format (56-bit precision), and the IEEE double format
(53-bit precision). The cbrt() in "IEEE/cbrt.c" is for IEEE machines
only. The functions in files that end with ".s" are for VAX computers
only. The functions in files that end with ".c" (except "IEEE/cbrt.c")
are for VAX and IEEE machines. To use the VAX D-format, compile the code
with -DVAX; to use IEEE double format on various IEEE machines, see
"Makefile" in this directory).
Example:
cc -c -DVAX sin.c ... for VAX D-format
Warning: The values of floating-point constants used in the code are
given in both hexadecimal and decimal. The hexadecimal values
are the intended ones. The decimal values may be used provided
that the compiler converts from decimal to binary accurately
enough to produce the hexadecimal values shown. If the
conversion is inaccurate, then one must know the exact machine
representation of the constants and alter the assembly
language output from the compiler, or play tricks like
the following in a C program.
Example: to store the floating-point constant
p1= 2^-6 * .F83ABE67E1066A (Hexadecimal)
on a VAX in C, we use two longwords to store its
machine value and define p1 to be the double constant
at the location of these two longwords:
static long p1x[] = { 0x3abe3d78, 0x066a67e1};
#define p1 (*(double*)p1x)
Note: On a VAX, some functions have two codes. For example, cabs() has
one implementation in "IEEE/cabs.c", and another in "VAX/cabs.s".
In this case, the assembly language version is preferred.
4. Accuracy.
The errors in expm1(), log1p(), exp(), log(), cabs(), hypot()
and cbrt() are below 1 ULP (Unit in the Last Place).
The error in pow(x,y) grows with the size of y. Nevertheless,
for integers x and y, pow(x,y) returns the correct integer value
on all tested machines (VAX, SUN, NATIONAL, ZILOG), provided that
x to the power of y is representable exactly.
cosh, sinh, acosh, asinh, tanh, atanh and log10 have errors below
about 3 ULPs.
For trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions:
Let [trig(x)] denote the value actually computed for trig(x),
1) Those codes using the machine's value PI (true pi rounded):
(source codes: IEEE/{trig.c,atan2.c}, asincos.c and atan.c)
The errors in [sin(x)], [cos(x)], and [atan(x)] are below
1 ULP compared with sin(x*pi/PI), cos(x*pi/PI), and
atan(x)*PI/pi respectively, where PI is the machine's
value of pi rounded. [tan(x)] returns tan(x*pi/PI) within
about 2 ULPs; [acos(x)], [asin(x)], and [atan2(y,x)]
return acos(x)*PI/pi, asin(x)*PI/pi, and atan2(y,x)*PI/pi
respectively to similar accuracy.
2) Those using true pi (for VAX D-format only):
(source codes: VAX/{sincos.s,tan.s,atan2.s}, asincos.c and
atan.c)
The errors in [sin(x)], [cos(x)], and [atan(x)] are below
1 ULP. [tan(x)], [atan2(y,x)], [acos(x)], and [asin(x)]
have errors below about 2 ULPs.
Here are the results of some test runs to find worst errors on

5. Speed.
Some functions coded in VAX assembly language (cabs(), hypot() and
sqrt()) are significantly faster than the corresponding ones in 4.2BSD.
In general, to improve performance, all functions in "IEEE/support.c"
should be written in assembly language and, whenever possible, should
be called via short subroutine calls.
