I've been having interest in this idea I already asked about but forgot to introduce myself. I, Tejas Joshi, studying undergraduate Computer Engineering, Pune University, India. I've worked and still working in interested C,C++ and always had keen interest in Languages and processing. I am a member of team, which has been selected for Smart India hackathon 2018. Working for math.h and complex.h functions is really interesting and want to apply for it. First of all, thanking you Sir Myers for immediate and elaborated response. As far as I think for now, the approach for the problem would be(shortly): 1. There are in-built functions present for ceil / floor / etc. I am suppose to add functions in which existing ones get folded for constant arguments. 2. Expanding them inline for non-constant arguments depending upon target processor and implementing new instruction patterns. Just as Sir said. I have some university level experience of working and programming assembly language under Intel 80386DX architecture. I think it may help for implementing supports for other architectures. Just for start, you mentioned roundeven function as a guide for start. Where can I find these (e.g. real.c) .c files for detailed study of these functions so that I can have broader scenario? I have GCC 7.2.0 installed and could not find it in library nor in libc/. -Tejas Joshi.
