[OpenLibm](https://openlibm.org/) is an effort to have a high quality, portable, standalone
|
2014-06-20 19:09:44 +01:00
|
|
|
C mathematical library ([`libm`](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/libm)).
|
2014-06-22 12:46:23 +01:00
|
|
|
It can be used standalone in applications and programming language
|
2014-12-05 00:44:29 +05:30
|
|
|
implementations.

The project was born out of a need to have a good `libm` for the
|
2020-03-31 12:37:11 +02:00
|
|
|
[Julia programming language](http://www.julialang.org) that worked
|
2014-06-22 12:46:23 +01:00
|
|
|
consistently across compilers and operating systems, and in 32-bit and
|
|
|
|
|
64-bit environments.

## Platform support

OpenLibm builds on Linux, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and
|
2018-06-18 18:13:49 -04:00
|
|
|
DragonFly BSD. It builds with both GCC and clang. Although largely
|
|
|
|
|
tested and widely used on the x86 and x86-64 architectures, OpenLibm
|
2019-12-09 21:38:44 -05:00
|
|
|
also supports arm, aarch64, ppc64le, mips, wasm32, and s390(x).

## Build instructions

|
|
|
1. Use GNU Make to build OpenLibm. This is `make` on most systems, but `gmake` on BSDs.
|
2015-02-01 19:08:33 +05:30
|
|
|
2. Use `make USEGCC=1` to build with GCC. This is the default on
|
2014-12-05 00:44:29 +05:30
|
|
|
Linux and Windows.
|
2018-04-06 14:04:45 -07:00
|
|
|
3. Use `make USECLANG=1` to build with clang. This is the default on OS X, FreeBSD,
|
|
|
|
|
and OpenBSD.
|
2019-04-15 00:11:03 +02:00
|
|
|
4. Use `make ARCH=wasm32` to build the wasm32 library with clang. Requires clang-8.
|
|
|
|
|
5. Architectures are auto-detected. Use `make ARCH=i386` to force a
|
2016-03-03 14:53:33 +05:30
|
|
|
build for i386. Other supported architectures are i486, i586, and
|
|
|
|
|
i686. GCC 4.8 is the minimum requirement for correct codegen on
|
|
|
|
|
older 32-bit architectures.
