someone thought it would be a good idea to copy z_abs() to libm in 1994.
However, it's never been declared or documented anywhere, and I'm
reasonably confident that nobody uses it.
Discussed with: bde, deischen, kan
to fix the "-nostdinc WARNS=X" breakage caused by broken prototypes
for cabs() and cabsl() in <math.h>.
Reimplemented cabs() and cabsl() using new complex numbers types and
moved prototypes from <math.h> to <complex.h>.
-- Begin comments from J.T. Conklin:
The most significant improvement is the addition of "float" versions
of the math functions that take float arguments, return floats, and do
all operations in floating point. This doesn't help (performance)
much on the i386, but they are still nice to have.
The float versions were orginally done by Cygnus' Ian Taylor when
fdlibm was integrated into the libm we support for embedded systems.
I gave Ian a copy of my libm as a starting point since I had already
fixed a lot of bugs & problems in Sun's original code. After he was
done, I cleaned it up a bit and integrated the changes back into my
libm.
