Out of interest, whats needs to be done to use these, some gcc flag ? My profiling suggests that atan2(x,y) is taking ~ 50% of some method speed. Yes, the methods is already fast, but still is this reasonable if hardware instructions are being used. Is there some way I can check to see exactly what is used ? > These formulas will probably not be useful unless > you know in advance the ranges of their arguments. Yes, I considered coding up my own methods along this line, but figured getting it correct was not a small amount of effort, and was hoping to find some project that had done it for me. cheers Chris -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
