musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems
97e9b73d59
approximate 1/sqrt(x) and sqrt(x) with goldschmidt iterations. this is known to be a fast method for computing sqrt, but it is tricky to get right, so added detailed comments. use a lookup table for the initial estimate, this adds 256bytes rodata but it can be shared between sqrt, sqrtf and sqrtl. this saves one iteration compared to a linear estimate. this is for soft float targets, but it supports fenv by using a floating-point operation to get the final result. the result is correctly rounded in all rounding modes. if fenv support is turned off then the nearest rounded result is computed and inexact exception is not signaled. assumes fast 32bit integer arithmetics and 32 to 64bit mul. |

musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
