[RFC PATCH] fixp-arith: replace sin/cos table by a better precision one

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The cos table used at fixp-arith.h has only 8 bits of precision.
That causes problems if it is reused on other drivers.

As some media drivers require a higher precision sin/cos
implementation, replace the current implementation by one that
will provide 32 bits precision.

The values generated by the new implementation matches the
32 bit precision of glibc's sin for an angle measured in
integer degrees.

It also provides support for fractional angles via linear
interpolation. On experimental calculus, when used a table
with a 0.001 degree angle, the maximum error for sin is
0.000038, with is likely good enough for practical purposes.

There are some logic there that seems to be specific to the
usage inside ff-memless.c. Move those logic to there, as they're
not needed elsewhere.

Instead of adding yet-another implementation of integer sin()/cos(),
let's fix the one that already exists on a worldwide header for one
that would provide the needed precision.

While I tested the implementation on userspace, I didn't actually
check if ff-memless and ov534 drivers are working properly with
this change. Please test.
