Hi folks,
it's kinda nice when someone appreciates your code :-). Now for some
comments...
I originally wrote the libm.a replacement to get around some inefficiencies
in System V r3.2. The world was rosy, gdb could examine the floating point
stack and I could easily see what my routines were doing. Now I have
System V r4.0.3, gdb cannot examine the floating point stack and sdb is even
worse :-( so libm development went into retirement. I am interested in starting
up again (although my PhD work *has* to come first) and I have a few suggestions
for things that could be done easily. If anyone is interested in working on
this stuff please email me.
Cheers,
Glenn
