Not writting the paper about your libm changes will increase chances your changes will be simple lost at some step. Possible scenario: 1) One of other *BSD totally rewrite its libm using some outside source, many new latest standard conforming functions added. 2) Although it is not so good in many aspects as yours, users will demand switching, since knows not at all about your goal/efforts/ulps/etc. 3) Someday someone switch from obsoleted N-years old etc. libm to be compatible with the rest of *BSD. BTW, do you optimize Athlon only calculation? What about Intel EM64? -- http://ache.pp.ru/
