Use double precision to simplify and optimize a long division.
On athlons, this gives a speedup of 10-20% for tanf() on uniformly distributed args in [-2Pi, 2Pi]. (It only directly applies for 43% of the args and gives a 16-20% speedup for these (more for AXP than A64) and this gives an overall speedup of 10-12% which is all that it should; however, it gives an overall speedup of 17-20% with gcc-3.3 on AXP-A64 by mysteriously effected cases where it isn't executed.) I originally intended to use double precision for all internals of float trig functions and will probably still do this, but benchmarking showed that converting to double precision and back is a pessimization in cases where a simple float precision calculation works, so it may be optimal to switch precisions only when using extra precision is much simpler.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
