From a51bc4fe9da9f2b97877beb6692f7043f6c14a16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Clarke Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2019 19:16:50 -0600 Subject: Use float in e_sqrt.c The type used within e_sqrt.c(__slow_ieee754_sqrtf) was, unnecessarily and likely inadvertently, double. float is not only appropriate, but also more efficient, avoiding the need for the compiler to emit a round-to-single-precision instruction. This is the difference in compiled code: 0000000000000000 <__ieee754_sqrtf>: 0: 2c 08 20 ec fsqrts f1,f1 - 4: 18 08 20 fc frsp f1,f1 - 8: 20 00 80 4e blr + 4: 20 00 80 4e blr (Found by Anton Blanchard.) --- ChangeLog | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) (limited to 'ChangeLog') diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index f12f435b26..6f1d967f62 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,8 @@ +2019-02-11 Paul A.
