STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: Oh... math.log() has an optional second argument: base. math.log(x, 2). But it is equivalent as math.log(x) / math.log(2) in Python. math.log(x, 2) is implemented as: num=math.log(x) den=math.log(2) return num / den where num and den are Python floats (64 bits).
So we don't benefit from 80 bits float used internally in x87. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11888> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
