I disagree: a libm exp2 is likely to be significantly accurate than pow(2.0, x). The latter is unlikely to be special-cased by the libm pow. > The latter can call exp2() internally if it provides more accuracy than > exp(log(x)*y). It would be a very poor pow implementation that used exp(log(x)*y). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31980> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
