Fast-Pow-Adjustable code ====================================================================== Harrison Ainsworth / HXA7241 : 2004-2011. http://wwww.hxa.name/articles/ 2011-07-09 2007-11-21 Contents -------- * Description * Acknowledgements * License Description ----------- This code accompanies the article 'Fast pow() With Adjustable Accuracy' at <http://www.hxa.name/articles/content/fast-pow-adjustable_hxa7241_2007.html> The main module, in the PowFast.* files, has an interface with two parts: * create and free a PowFast instance of particular precision * query an instance for pow calculations Look at the header for usage details. The implementation includes a test function. The tester module, in the PowFast-tester file, just calls the test function in the main PowFast module. (And outputs 200+ lines of numbers.) Run a build script, for VC-2005 on Windows, or GCC-4 on Linux (and similar), to build the test program. The code assumes a 32 bit int. For 64 bit builds, adjustments might be needed to specify that explicitly.
