This is a follow-up to r336299.
* lib/msun/Makefile:
. Remove polevll.c
* lib/msun/ld80/e_powl.c:
. Copy contents of polevll.c to here. This is the only consumer of
these functions. Make functions 'static inline'.
. Make reducl a 'static inline' function.
* lib/msun/man/exp.3:
. Remove BUGS section that no longer applies.
* lib/msun/src/math_private.h:
. Remove prototypes of __p1evll() and __polevll()
* lib/msun/src/s_cpow.c:
* lib/msun/src/s_cpowf.c:
* lib/msun/src/s_cpowl.c
. Include math_private.h.
. Use the CMPLX macro from either C99 or math_private.h (depends on
compiler support) instead of the problematic use of complex I.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn exp ,
|
|
.Fn expf ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn expl
|
|
functions compute the base
|
|
.Ms e
|
|
exponential value of the given argument
|
|
.Fa x .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn exp2 ,
|
|
.Fn exp2f ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn exp2l
|
|
functions compute the base 2 exponential of the given argument
|
|
.Fa x .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn expm1 ,
|
|
.Fn expm1f ,
|
|
and the
|
|
.Fn expm1l
|
|
functions compute the value exp(x)\-1 accurately even for tiny argument
|
|
.Fa x .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pow ,
|
|
.Fn powf ,
|
|
and the
|
|
.Fn powl
|
|
functions compute the value
|
|
of
|
|
.Ar x
|
|
to the exponent
|
|
.Ar y .
|
|
.Sh ERROR (due to Roundoff etc.)
|
|
The values of
|
|
.Fn exp 0 ,
|
|
.Fn expm1 0 ,
|
|
.Fn exp2 integer ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn pow integer integer
|
|
are exact provided that they are representable.
|
|
.\" XXX Is this really true for pow()?
|
|
Otherwise the error in these functions is generally below one
|
|
.Em ulp .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
These functions will return the appropriate computation unless an error
|
|
occurs or an argument is out of range.
|
|
The functions
|
|
.Fn pow x y ,
|
|
.Fn powf x y ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn powl x y
|
|
raise an invalid exception and return an \*(Na if
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
< 0 and
|
|
.Fa y
|
|
is not an integer.
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn pow x 0
|
|
returns x**0 = 1 for all x including x = 0, \*(If, and \*(Na .
|
|
Previous implementations of pow may
|
|
have defined x**0 to be undefined in some or all of these
|
|
cases.
|
|
Here are reasons for returning x**0 = 1 always:
|
|
.Bl -enum -width indent
|
|
.It
|
|
Any program that already tests whether x is zero (or
|
|
infinite or \*(Na) before computing x**0 cannot care
|
|
whether 0**0 = 1 or not.
|
|
Any program that depends
|
|
upon 0**0 to be invalid is dubious anyway since that
|
|
expression's meaning and, if invalid, its consequences
|
|
vary from one computer system to another.
|
|
.It
|
|
Some Algebra texts (e.g.\& Sigler's) define x**0 = 1 for
|
|
all x, including x = 0.
|
|
This is compatible with the convention that accepts a[0]
|
|
as the value of polynomial
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
p(x) = a[0]\(**x**0 + a[1]\(**x**1 + a[2]\(**x**2 +...+ a[n]\(**x**n
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
at x = 0 rather than reject a[0]\(**0**0 as invalid.
|
|
.It
|
|
Analysts will accept 0**0 = 1 despite that x**y can
|
|
approach anything or nothing as x and y approach 0
|
|
independently.
|
|
The reason for setting 0**0 = 1 anyway is this:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
If x(z) and y(z) are
|
|
.Em any
|
|
functions analytic (expandable
|
|
in power series) in z around z = 0, and if there
|
|
x(0) = y(0) = 0, then x(z)**y(z) \(-> 1 as z \(-> 0.
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It
|
|
If 0**0 = 1, then
|
|
\*(If**0 = 1/0**0 = 1 too; and
|
|
then \*(Na**0 = 1 too because x**0 = 1 for all finite
|
|
and infinite x, i.e., independently of x.
