- Short: Fix C='s IEEE lib (ATN: spice users)
- Author: henric@engineering.ucsb.edu
- Uploader: henric@engineering.ucsb.edu
- Type: util/libs
-
- This patch fixes IEEEDPCmp() for mathieeedoubbas.library version 38.2.
- You can check the version of the file you have with "version
- libs:mathieeedoubbas.library full file". It should say 38.2 and give a
- date of 24 Jan 92. The patch should refuse to do anything if the version
- is not correct.
-
- The simplest way to use it is to execute the "FixIEEE" script ("execute
- FixIEEE").
-
- It attempts to (or, what you should do yourself if you
- don't trust it):
- 1. Make a backup copy of mathieeedoubbas.library
- 2. Copy mathieeedoubbas.library to the directory where you
- extracted this archive.
- 3. Type "spatch mathieeedoubbas.library"
- 4. Copy the file "mathieedoubbas.new" to
- "sys:libs/mathieeedoubbas.library"
-
- It was brought to my attention that the pz analysis in the IEEE version of
- spice3 (spice3f4r1_000.lha) was broken. After no time at all (yeah,
- right...), it occured to me that IEEEDPCmp() was the cause of this
- problem. This patch should correct the problem with pz analysis (and it
- might resolve other problems too).
-
- IEEEDPCmp() can give an incorrect answer when both arguments are negative
- and the high halves of the arguments are identical. The patch replaces
- bmi/bgt with bhi, and it changes the version number in the _file_ to 99.9.
- Apparently, the version number of the library (once it is loaded) is taken
- from MathIEEEResource and the revision number is based on whether or not
- there is an FPU or not (I _think_ :).
