(original) (raw)

Hello,

�

Is it from a technical standpoint possible to:

�

Add an -XX parameter�that toggles�direct intrinsics to the cpu native version of�some Math methods like cos , sin��without any extra (parameter range check�with its fast and slow code paths).

�

If so i would be happy to implement it myself , with some minor initial guideline to the codebase please.

�

�

Despite breaking spec, the non exact results are good enough for many practical uses, like 3D engines etc where competitive performance with other languages is of importance.

�

It would be nice if such a patch could be integrated into the jdk itself so others can use it,

else�i will have to�bundle a private compiled version with my application.
