Therefore the midpoint operation will always be denoted by `|half(a+b)|' in this program. If \MP\ is being implemented with languages that permit binary shifting, the |half| macro should be changed to make this operation as efficient as possible. Since some systems have shift operators that can only be trusted to work on positive numbers, there is also a macro |halfp| that is used only when the quantity being halved is known to be positive or zero. @ Here is a procedure analogous to |print_int|. The current version is fairly stupid, and it is not round-trip safe, but this is good enough for a beta test. @c char * mp_double_number_tostring (MP mp, mp_number n) { static char set[64]; int l = 0; char *ret = mp_xmalloc(mp, 64, 1); snprintf(set, 64, "%.17g", n.data.dval); while (set[l] == ' ') l++; strcpy(ret, set+l); return ret; } @ @c void mp_double_print_number (MP mp, mp_number n) { char *str = mp_double_number_tostring(mp, n); mp_print (mp, str); free (str); } @ Addition is not always checked to make sure that it doesn't overflow, but in places where overflow isn't too unlikely the |slow_add| routine is used. @c void mp_double_slow_add (MP mp, mp_number *ret, mp_number x_orig, mp_number y_orig) { double x, y; x = x_orig.data.dval; y = y_orig.data.dval; if (x >= 0) { if (y <= EL_GORDO - x) { ret->data.dval = x + y; } else { mp->arith_error = true; ret->data.dval = EL_GORDO; } } else if (-y <= EL_GORDO + x) { ret->data.dval = x + y; } else { mp->arith_error = true; ret->data.dval = -EL_GORDO; } } @ The |make_fraction| routine produces the |fraction| equivalent of |p/q|, given integers |p| and~|q|; it computes the integer $f=\lfloor2^{28}p/q+{1\over2}\rfloor$, when $p$ and $q$ are positive. If |p| and |q| are both of the same scaled type |t|, the ``type relation'' |make_fraction(t,t)=fraction| is valid; and it's also possible to use the subroutine ``backwards,'' using the relation |make_fraction(t,fraction)=t| between scaled types. If the result would have magnitude $2^{31}$ or more, |make_fraction| sets |arith_error:=true|. Most of \MP's internal computations have been designed to avoid this sort of error. If this subroutine were programmed in assembly language on a typical machine, we could simply compute |(@t$2^{28}$@>*p)div q|, since a double-precision product can often be input to a fixed-point division instruction. But when we are restricted to int-eger arithmetic it is necessary either to resort to multiple-precision maneuvering or to use a simple but slow iteration. The multiple-precision technique would be about three times faster than the code adopted here, but it would be comparatively long and tricky, involving about sixteen additional multiplications and divisions. This operation is part of \MP's ``inner loop''; indeed, it will consume nearly 10\pct! of the running time (exclusive of input and output) if the code below is left unchanged. A machine-dependent recoding will therefore make \MP\ run faster. The present implementation is highly portable, but slow; it avoids multiplication and division except in the initial stage. System wizards should be careful to replace it with a routine that is guaranteed to produce identical results in all cases. @^system dependencies@> As noted below, a few more routines should also be replaced by machine-dependent code, for efficiency.

This is \MP's magic fudge factor for placing the first control point of a curve that starts at an angle $\theta$ and ends at an angle $\phi$ from the straight path. (Actually, if the stated quantity exceeds 4, \MP\ reduces it to~4.) The trigonometric quantity to be multiplied by $\sqrt2$ is less than $\sqrt2$. (It's a sum of eight terms whose absolute values can be bounded using relations such as $\sin\theta\cos\theta\L{1\over2}$.) Thus the numerator is positive; and since the tension $\tau$ is constrained to be at least $3\over4$, the numerator is less than $16\over3$. The denominator is nonnegative and at most~6.

If |a<0| (so that $B(a,b,c;t)$ is already negative at |t=0|), |crossing_point| returns the value zero. The general bisection method is quite simple when $n=2$, hence |crossing_point| does not take much time. At each stage in the recursion we have a subinterval defined by |l| and~|j| such that $B(a,b,c;2^{-l}(j+t))=B(x_0,x_1,x_2;t)$, and we want to ``zero in'' on the subinterval where $x_0\G0$ and $\min(x_1,x_2)<0$. It is convenient for purposes of calculation to combine the values of |l| and~|j| in a single variable $d=2^l+j$, because the operation of bisection then corresponds simply to doubling $d$ and possibly adding~1. Furthermore it proves to be convenient to modify our previous conventions for bisection slightly, maintaining the variables $X_0=2^lx_0$, $X_1=2^l(x_0-x_1)$, and $X_2=2^l(x_1-x_2)$. With these variables the conditions $x_0\ge0$ and $\min(x_1,x_2)<0$ are equivalent to $\max(X_1,X_1+X_2)>X_0\ge0$. The following code maintains the invariant relations $0\L|x0|<\max(|x1|,|x1|+|x2|)$, $\vert|x1|\vert<2^{30}$, $\vert|x2|\vert<2^{30}$; it has been constructed in such a way that no arithmetic overflow will occur if the inputs satisfy $a<2^{30}$, $\vert a-b\vert<2^{30}$, and $\vert b-c\vert<2^{30}$. @d no_crossing { ret->data.dval = fraction_one + 1; goto RETURN; } @d one_crossing { ret->data.dval = fraction_one; goto RETURN; } @d zero_crossing { ret->data.dval = 0; goto RETURN; } @c static void mp_double_crossing_point (MP mp, mp_number *ret, mp_number aa, mp_number bb, mp_number cc) { double a,b,c; double d; /* recursive counter */ double x, xx, x0, x1, x2; /* temporary registers for bisection */ a = aa.data.dval; b = bb.data.dval; c = cc.data.dval; if (a < 0) zero_crossing; if (c >= 0) { if (b >= 0) { if (c > 0) { no_crossing; } else if ((a == 0) && (b == 0)) { no_crossing; } else { one_crossing; } } if (a == 0) zero_crossing; } else if (a == 0) { if (b <= 0) zero_crossing; } /* Use bisection to find the crossing point... */ d = epsilon; x0 = a; x1 = a - b; x2 = b - c; do { /* not sure why the error correction has to be >= 1E-12 */ x = (x1 + x2) / 2 + 1E-12; if (x1 - x0 > x0) { x2 = x; x0 += x0; d += d; } else { xx = x1 + x - x0; if (xx > x0) { x2 = x; x0 += x0; d += d; } else { x0 = x0 - xx; if (x <= x0) { if (x + x2 <= x0) no_crossing; } x1 = x; d = d + d + epsilon; } } } while (d < fraction_one); ret->data.dval = (d - fraction_one); RETURN: #if DEBUG fprintf(stdout, "\n%f = crossing_point(%f,%f,%f)", mp_number_to_double(*ret), mp_number_to_double(aa),mp_number_to_double(bb),mp_number_to_double(cc)); #endif return; } @ We conclude this set of elementary routines with some simple rounding and truncation operations. @ |round_unscaled| rounds a |scaled| and converts it to |int| @c int mp_round_unscaled(mp_number x_orig) { int x = (int)ROUND(x_orig.data.dval); return x; } @ |number_floor| floors a number @c void mp_number_floor (mp_number *i) { i->data.dval = floor(i->data.dval); } @ |fraction_to_scaled| rounds a |fraction| and converts it to |scaled| @c void mp_double_fraction_to_round_scaled (mp_number *x_orig) { double x = x_orig->data.dval; x_orig->type = mp_scaled_type; x_orig->data.dval = x/fraction_multiplier; } @* Algebraic and transcendental functions. \MP\ computes all of the necessary special functions from scratch, without relying on |real| arithmetic or system subroutines for sines, cosines, etc. @ @c void mp_double_square_rt (MP mp, mp_number *ret, mp_number x_orig) { /* return, x: scaled */ double x; x = x_orig.data.dval; if (x <= 0) { @; } else { ret->data.dval = sqrt(x); } } @ @= { if (x < 0) { char msg[256]; const char *hlp[] = { "Since I don't take square roots of negative numbers,", "I'm zeroing this one.
