Math Libraries

This chapter describes the structure and calling sequences required to access the Motorola Fast Floating Point (FFP), the IEEE single-precision math libraries and the IEEE double-precision math libraries via the Amiga-supplied interfaces.

In its present state, the FFP library consists of three separate entities: the basic math library, the transcendental math library, and C and assembly-language interfaces to the basic math library plus FFP conversion functions. The IEEE single-precision, introduced in Release 2, and the double-precision libraries each presently consists of two entities: the basic math library and the transcendental math library.

Open Each Library Separately
Each Task using an IEEE math library must open the library itself. Library base pointers to these libraries may not be shared. Libraries can be context sensitive and may use the Task structure to keep track of the current context. Sharing of library bases by Tasks may seem to work in some systems. This is true for any of the IEEE math libraries.

Depending on the compiler used, it is not always necessary to explicitly call the library functions for basic floating point operations as adding, subtracting, dividing, etc. Consult the manual supplied with the compiler for information regarding the compiler options for floating point functions.

Math Libraries and Functions

There are six math libraries providing functions ranging from adding two floating point numbers to calculating a hyperbolic cosine. They are:

mathffp.library: the basic function library

mathtrans.library: the FFP transcendental math library

mathieeesingbas.library: the IEEE single-precision library

mathieesingtrans.library: the IEEE single-precision transcendental library

mathieeedoubbas.library: the IEEE double-precision library

mathieesingtrans.library: the IEEE double-precision transcendental library

FFP Floating Point Data Format

FFP floating-point variables are defined within C by the float or FLOAT directive. In assembly language they are simply defined by a DC.L/DS.L statement. All FFP floating-point variables are defined as 32-bit entities (longwords) with the following format:

 _____________________________________________
|                                             |
| MMMMMMMM    MMMMMMMM    MMMMMMMM    EEEEEEE |
| 31          23          15          7       |
|_____________________________________________|

The mantissa is considered to be a binary fixed-point fraction; except for 0, it is always normalized (the mantissa is shifted over and the exponent adjusted, so that the mantissa has a 1 bit in its highest position). Thus, it represents a value of less than 1 but greater than or equal to 1/2.

The sign bit is reset (0) for a positive value and set (1) for a negative value.

The exponent is the power of two needed to correctly position the mantissa to reflect the number's true arithmetic value. It is held in excess-64 notation, which means that the two's-complement values are adjusted upward by 64, thus changing $40 (-64) through $3F (+63) to $00 through $7F. This facilitates comparisons among floating-point values.

The value of 0 is defined as all 32 bits being 0s. The sign, exponent, and mantissa are entirely cleared. Thus, 0s are always treated as positive.

The range allowed by this format is as follows:

DECIMAL: 9.22337177 * 10^18 > +VALUE > 5.42101070 * 10^-20; -9.22337177 * 10^18 < -VALUE < -2.71050535 * 10^-20

BINARY (HEXADECIMAL): .FFFFFF * 2^63 > +VALUE > .800000 * 2^-63; -.FFFFFF * 2^63 < -VALUE < -.800000 * 2^-64

Remember that you cannot perform any arithmetic on these variables without using the fast floating-point libraries. The formats of the variables are incompatible with the arithmetic format of C-generated code; hence, all floating-point operations are performed through function calls.

FFP Basic Mathematics Library

The FFP basic math library contains entries for the basic mathematics functions such as add, subtract and divide. It resides in ROM and is opened by calling OpenLibrary() with "mathffp.library" as the argument.

#include <exec/types.h>
#include <libraries/mathffp.h>

#include <clib/mathffp_protos.h>

struct Library *MathBase;

VOID main()
{
if (MathBase = OpenLibrary("mathffp.library", 0))
    {
           . . .

    CloseLibrary(MathBase);
    }
else
    printf("Can't open mathffp.library\n");
}

The global variable MathBase is used internally for all future library references.

    f1 = SPFlt(i1);            /* Call SPFlt entry */

    f1 = SPCeil(f2);           /* Call SPCeil entry */
    f1 = SPFloor(f2);          /* Call SPFloor entry */

    CloseLibrary(MathBase);
    }
else
    printf("Can't open mathffp.library\n");
}

The assembly language interface to the FFP basic math routines is shown below, including some details about how the system flags are affected by each operation. The access mechanism is:

FFP Transcendental Mathematics Library

The FFP transcendental math library contains entries for the transcendental math functions sine, cosine, and square root. It resides on disk and is opened by calling OpenLibrary() with "mathtrans.library" as the argument.

#include <exec/types.h>
#include <libraries/mathffp.h>

#include <clib/mathffp_protos.h>
#include <clib/mathtrans_protos.h>

struct Library *MathTransBase;

VOID main()
{
if (MathTransBase = OpenLibrary("mathtrans.library",0))
    {
            .
            .
            .
    CloseLibrary(MathTransBase);
    }
else
    printf("Can't open mathtrans.library\n");
}

The global variable MathTransBase is used internally for all future library references. Note that the transcendental math library is dependent upon the basic math library, which it will open if it is not open already. If you want to use the basic math functions in conjunction with the transcendental math functions however, you have to specifically open the basic math library yourself.

FFP Transcendental Functions

Return arccosine of FFP variable.

Return arctangent of FFP variable.

Return arcsine of FFP variable.

Return sine of FFP variable. This function accepts an FFP radian argument and returns the trigonometric sine value. For extremely large arguments where little or no precision would result, the computation is aborted and the ‚ÄúV‚Äù condition code is set. A direct return to the caller is made.

Return cosine of FFP variable. This function accepts an FFP radian argument and returns the trigonometric cosine value. For extremely large arguments where little or no precision would result, the computation is aborted and the ‚ÄúV‚Äù condition code is set. A direct return to the caller is made.

Return tangent of FFP variable. This function accepts an FFP radian argument and returns the trigonometric tangent value. For extremely large arguments where little or no precision would result, the computation is aborted and the ‚ÄúV‚Äù condition code is set. A direct return to the caller is made.

Return sine and cosine of FFP variable. This function accepts an FFP radian argument and returns the trigonometric sine as its result and the trigonometric cosine in the first parameter. If both the sine and cosine are required for a single radian value, this function will result in almost twice the execution speed of calling the SPSin() and SPCos() functions independently. For extremely large arguments where little or no precision would result, the computation is aborted and the ‚ÄúV‚Äù condition code is set. A direct return to the caller is made.

Return hyperbolic sine of FFP variable.

    f1 = SPCosh(f2);        /* Call SPCosh entry */

    f1 = SPLog10(f2);       /* Call SPLog10 entry */
    f1 = SPPow(f2);         /* Call SPPow entry */
    f1 = SPSqrt(f2);        /* Call SPSqrt entry */

    i1 = SPTieee(f2);       /* Call SPTieee entry */
    f1 = SPFieee(i1);       /* Call SPFieee entry */

    CloseLibrary(MathTransBase);
    }
else
    printf("Can't open mathtrans.library\n");
}

The Amiga assembly language interface to the FFP transcendental math routines is shown below, including some details about how the system flags are affected by the operation.

FFP Mathematics Conversion Library

The FFP mathematics conversion library provides functions to convert ASCII strings to their FFP equivalents and vice versa.

It is accessed by linking code into the executable file being created. The name of the file to include in the library description of the link command line is amiga.lib. When this is included, direct calls are made to the conversion functions. Only a C interface exists for the conversion functions; there is no assembly language interface. The basic math library is required in order to access these functions.

#include <exec/types.h>
#include <libraries/mathffp.h>

#include <clib/mathffp_protos.h>

struct Library *MathBase;

VOID main()
{
if (MathBase = OpenLibrary("mathffp.library", 33))
    {
           . . .

    CloseLibrary(MathBase);
    }
else
    printf("Can't open mathffp.library\n");
}

Math Support Functions

Convert ASCII string into FFP equivalent.

Round ASCII representation of FFP number.

Convert FFP dual-binary number to FFP equivalent.

IEEE Single-Precision Data Format

The IEEE single-precision variables are defined as 32-bit entities with the following format:

SEEEEEEE	MMMMMMMM	MMMMMMMM	EEEEEEE
31	23	15	7

_boxHidden Bit In The Mantissa.There is a ‚Äúhidden‚Äù bit in the mantissa part of the IEEE numbers. Since all numbers are normalized, the integer (high) bit of the mantissa is dropped off. The IEEE single-precision range is 1.3E-38 (1.4E-45 de-normalized) to 3.4E+38.

The exponent is the power of two needed to correctly position the mantissa to reflect the number‚Äôs true arithmetic value. If both the exponent and the mantissa have zero in every position, the value is zero. If only the exponent has zero in every position, the value is an unnormal (extremely small). If all bits of the exponent are set to 1 the value is either a positive or negative infinity or a Not a Number (NaN). NaN is sometimes used to indicate an uninitialized variable.

IEEE Single-Precision Basic Math Library

The ROM-based IEEE single-precision basic math library was introduced in V36. This library contains entries for the basic IEEE single-precision mathematics functions, such as add, subtract, and divide.

The library is opened by making calling OpenLibrary() with "mathieeesingbas.library" as the argument. Do not share the library base pointer between tasks - see note at beginning of chapter for details.

#include <exec/types.h>
#include <libraries/mathieeesp.h>

#include <clib/mathsingbas_protos.h>

struct Library *MathIeeeSingBasBase;

VOID main()
{
    /* do not share base pointer between tasks. */
if (MathIeeeSingBasBase = OpenLibrary("mathieeesingbas.library", 37))
    {
           .
           .
           .
    CloseLibrary(MathIeeeSingBasBase);
    }
else
    printf("Can't open mathieeesingbas.library\n");
}

The global variable MathIeeeSingBasBase is used internally for all future library references.

If an 680x0/68881/68882 processor combination is available, it will be used by the IEEE single-precision basic library instead of the software emulation. Also, if an autoconfigured math resource is available, that will be used. Typically this is a 68881 designed as a 16 bit I/O port, but it could be another device as well.

IEEE Single-Precision Transcendental Math Library

The IEEE single-precision transcendental math library was introduced in V36. It contains entries for transcendental math functions such as sine, cosine, and square root.

This library resides on disk and is opened by calling OpenLibrary() with "mathieeesingtrans.library" as the argument. Do not share the library base pointer between tasks ‚Äì see note at beginning of chapter.

#include <exec/types.h>
#include <libraries/mathieeesp.h>

struct Library *MathIeeeSingTransBase;

#include <clib/mathsingtrans_protos.h>

VOID main()
{
if (MathIeeeSingTransBase = OpenLibrary("mathieeesingtrans.library",37))
    {
           . . .

    CloseLibrary(MathIeeeSingTransBase);
    }
else  printf("Can't open mathieeesingtrans.library\n");
}

The global variable MathIeeeSingTransBase is used internally for all future library references.

The IEEE single-precision transcendental math library is dependent upon the IEEE single-precision basic math library, which it will open if it is not open already. If you want to use the IEEE single-precision basic math functions in conjunction with the transcendental math functions however, you have to specifically open the basic math library yourself.

Just as the IEEE single-precision basic math library, the IEEE single-precision transcendental math library will take advantage of a 680x0/68881 combination or another math resource, if present.

IEEE Double-Precision Data Format

The IEEE double-precision variables are defined as 64-bit entities with the following format:

SEEEEEEE	EEEEEIMM	MMMMMMMM	MMMMMMMM
63	55	47	39

MMMMMMMM	MMMMMMMM	MMMMMMMM	MMMMMMMM
31	23	15	7

_boxHidden Bit In The Mantissa.There is a ‚Äúhidden‚Äù bit in the mantissa part of the IEEE numbers. Since all numbers are normalized, the integer (high) bit of the mantissa is dropped off. The IEEE double-precision range is 2.2E-308 (4.9E-324 de-normalized) to 1.8E+307.

The exponent is the power of two needed to correctly position the mantissa to reflect the number‚Äôs true arithmetic value. If both the exponent and the mantissa have zero in every position, the value is zero. If only the exponent has zero in every position, the value is an unnormal (extremely small). If all bits of the exponent are set to 1 the value is either a positive or negative infinity or a Not a Number (NaN). NaN is sometimes used to indicate an uninitialized variable.

IEEE Double-Precision Basic Math Library

The IEEE double-precision basic math library contains entries for the basic IEEE mathematics functions, such as add, subtract, and divide. This library resides on disk and is opened by calling OpenLibrary() with "mathieeedoubbas.library" as the argument. Do not share the library base pointer between tasks ‚Äì see note at beginning of chapter for details.

#include <exec/types.h>
#include <libraries/mathieeedp.h>

#include <clib/mathdoubbas_protos.h>

struct Library *MathIeeeDoubBasBase;

VOID main()
{
    /* do not share base pointer between tasks. */

           . . .

    CloseLibrary(MathIeeeDoubBasBase);
    }
else printf("Can't open mathieeedoubbas.library\n");
}

The global variable MathIeeeDoubBasBase is used internally for all future library references.

If an 680x0/68881/68882 processor combination is available, it will be used by the IEEE basic library instead of the software emulation. Also, if an autoconfigured math resource is available, that will be used. Typically this is a 68881 designed as a 16 bit I/O port, but it could be another device as well.
