When the GNU assembler 2.9.5 came out, it broke several of my routines
for elementary math functions. The problems were not central to the
algorithms -- they had to do with stricter syntax checking for things
like operand length.
I have fixed the broken routines and placed them in the "incoming"
directory on ftp.delorie.com, under the name math0303.zip.
I had hoped to do a simple comparison of the binaries to what was
produced under "as" v2.8.1. If that had been possible, I would have
submitted these revisions in March, but since the assembler saw fit to
produce slightly different binaries, I felt obliged to re-test them. As
far as I can tell, they function identically to the earlier routines.
I have successfuly assembled the routines under "as" v2.8.1 and v2.9.5.
I tried v2.5.2, but unfortunately the C-style /* ... */ comments are not
accepted under that assembler (this looks like a bug in the old
assembler), so major assembly errors occur.
