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. (Note, registered developers can license a disk-based version of this library from cats, for usage with v33). 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. sp ieee basic functions (v36 or greater)
