@chapter NEC V70 Specific Functions

The NEC V70 has machine instructions for fast IEEE floating point,

including operations normally provided by the library.

When you use the @file{/usr/include/fastmath.h} header file, the

names of several library math functions are redefined to call the

@code{fastmath} routine (using the corresponding V70 machine instructions)

whenever possible.

For example,

@example

#include <fastmath.h>

double sqsin(x)

double x;

@{

  return sin(x*x);

@}

@end example

expands into the code

@example

@dots{}

double sqsin(x)

double x;

@{

  return fast_sin(x*x);

@}

@end example

The library has an entry @code{fast_sin} which uses the machine

instruction @code{fsin.l} to perform the operation.  Note that the

built-in instructions cannot call @code{matherr} or set @code{errno}

in the same way that the C coded functions do.  Refer to a V70

instruction manual to see how errors are generated and handled.

Also, the library provides true @code{float} entry points.  The

@code{fast_sinf} entry point really performs a @code{fsin.s}

operation.  Because of this, the instructions are only useful when

using code compiled with an ANSI C compiler.  The prototypes

and definitions for the floating point versions of the math library

routines are only defined if compiling a module with an ANSI C

compiler.
