Hi FX,
no real review but:
in M4:
- x2rev = 2.0'Q`/x;
+ x2rev = 2/x;
thus in .c:
- x2rev = 2.0F/x;
+ x2rev = 2/x;
I am not really a really happy with that change even though
there should be no conversion problem in this case.
Why can't you simply continue to use 2.0f, 2.0, 2.0l -- and
use 2.0q for __float128?
Tobias
