OpenLibm is an effort to have a high quality, portable, standalone
|
|
|
C mathematical library ([`libm`](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/libm)).
|
|
|
-It can be used standalone in applications
|
|
|
-and programming language implementations.

|
|
|
|
|
|
-The project was born out of a need to have a good `libm`
|
|
|
-for the [Julia programming langage](http://www.julialang.org)
|
|
|
-that worked consistently across compilers and operating systems,
|
|
|
-and in 32-bit and 64-bit environments.

### History
|
|
|
|
|
|
-The OpenLibm code derives from the
|
|
|
-[FreeBSD msun](http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/lib/msun/) implementation,
|
|
|
-which in turn derives from [FDLIBM 5.3](http://www.netlib.org/fdlibm/).
|
|
|
-As a result, it includes a number of fixes and updates to FDLIBM
|
|
|
-that have accumulated over the years in `msun`,
|
|
|
-and optimized versions of many functions.

### Platform support
|
|
|
|
|
|
-OpenLibm builds on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows,
|
|
|
-and with little effort, should build on FreeBSD as well.
|
|
|
-It builds with both GCC and clang.
|
|
|
-Although largely tested on x86,
|
|
|
-it also includes experimental support for ARM.
|
|
|
-The original `msun` also includes support for
|
|
|
-mips, sparc64, powerpc, ia64, and alpha.
|
|
|
-These are present in the OpenLibm source tree,
|
|
|
-but no attempt has been made to build any of these.

### Build instructions
|
|
|
|
|
|
-1. `make` or `make USEGCC=1` to build with GCC.
|
|
|
- This is the default on Linux and Windows.
|
|
|
-2. `make USECLANG=1` to build with clang.
|
|
|
- This is the default on OS X.
