Hi guys,
It's somewhat (too) quiet here... Some time ago there was a discussion (in Jallist?) about a missing math library in Jallib. I've been searching for an existing library and found 'jmath.jal' which contains a collection of functions from different sources, but is made for the old Jal. Some functions are written in assembler, and that might be desirable for efficiency. I contacted the author (Hans de Rijck) to see if he is maintaining it. Unfortunately he is not active with Jal anymore, but he has no problem against adding it to Jallib (after conversion, and keeping the names of the original authors). Which math functions would be needed and (in combination with) which variable types (integer, fixed point, floating point, bcd?). At this moment I can think of: - 16,24,32,64 bits integer multiply, divide - fixed point arithmetic - floating point arithmetic - goniometric functions (sin, cos, tg, etc) - square root and other 'power' functions - logarithm (natural?) Some of these may be supported natively by JalV2, which? During the design and build of this library we may need to assign priorities to components. Is that a matter of common sense, complexity + math skills, a poll in Jallist? Comments?
