This uses the trigonometric double and triple angle formulae to avoid repeated (expensive) evaluation of libc's cos().
Sample benchmark (x86-64, Haswell, GNU/Linux) old: 1104466600 decicycles in build_filter(loop 1000), 256 runs, 0 skips 1096765286 decicycles in build_filter(loop 1000), 512 runs, 0 skips 1070479590 decicycles in build_filter(loop 1000), 1024 runs, 0 skips new: 588861423 decicycles in build_filter(loop 1000), 256 runs, 0 skips 591262754 decicycles in build_filter(loop 1000), 512 runs, 0 skips 577355145 decicycles in build_filter(loop 1000), 1024 runs, 0 skips This results in small differences with the old expression: difference (worst case on [0, 2*M_PI]), argmax 0.008: max diff (relative): 0.000000000000157289807188 blackman_old(0.008): 0.000363951585488813192382 blackman_new(0.008): 0.000363951585488755946507 These are judged to be insignificant for the performance gain. PSNR to reference file is unchanged up to second decimal point for instance.
