10 ;;;;
11 ;;;; Common Lisp allows for four different floating point types that need
12 ;;;; not be distinct. For statistical work, the type I prefer to use is
13 ;;;; the one that is closest to a C double. This type is named stat-float.
14 ;;;; By setting the variable *read-default-float-format* to this type, you
15 ;;;; insure that data entered as floating point data is read in with this
16 ;;;; type. The problem arises with data read as integers that is passed to
17 ;;;; a transcendental, like sqrt. Floating point contagion rules say these
18 ;;;; integers are to be converted to type single-float. Unless single-float
19 ;;;; is equivalent to C double, as it is in Mac CL and KCL, this is not
20 ;;;; what I want. Hence this file redefines the transcendentals to first
21 ;;;; coerce their arguments to stat-float before applying the built-in
22 ;;;; functions.
23 ;;;;
24 ;;;; No actual modifications to the transcendentals are needed if
25 ;;;; single-float is the same as stat-float. The fearure
26 ;;;; :stat-float-is-double-float is used to indicate this.
27 ;;;;
28 ;;;; KCL NOTE:
29 ;;;; In (A)KCL the type short-float corresponds to C float and the types
30 ;;;; single-float, double-float and long-float correspond to C double.
31 ;;;; But in the implementation of the transcendentals (A)KCL coerces
32 ;;;; rationals to short-float, not single-float. CLtL1 is a little vague
33 ;;;; on this (it talks about "single precision") but CLtL2 clarifies that
34 ;;;; rationals should produce single-float results. So (A)KCL is wrong, at
35 ;;;; least relative to the clarification in CLtL2. I therefore decided
36 ;;;; to fix (A)KCL in files c/num_sfun.c and lsp/numlib.lsp. If these
37 ;;;; fixes are applied, the feature :stat-float-is-double-float should be
38 ;;;; defined.

43 ;; Type SHORT-FLOAT, SINGLE-FLOAT, DOUBLE-FLOAT, LONG-FLOAT
44 ;;
45 ;; Supertypes:
46 ;;
47 ;; short-float: short-float, float, real, number, t
48 ;;
49 ;;
50 ;; single-float: single-float, float, real, number, t
51 ;;
52 ;; double-float: double-float, float, real, number, t
53 ;;
54 ;; long-float: long-float, float, real, number, t
55 ;;
56 ;; Description: For the four defined subtypes of type float, it is true
57 ;; that intermediate between the type short-float and the type long-float
58 ;; are the type single-float and the type double-float. The precise
59 ;; definition of these categories is implementation-defined. The
60 ;; precision (measured in ``bits'', computed as p log 2b) and the
61 ;; exponent size (also measured in ``bits,'' computed as log 2(n+1),
62 ;; where n is the maximum exponent value) is recommended to be at least
63 ;; as great as the values in the next figure. Each of the defined
64 ;; subtypes of type float might or might not have a minus zero.
65 ;;
66 ;;
67 ;; Format Minimum Precision Minimum Exponent Size
68 ;; ----------
69 ;; Short 13 bits 5 bits
70 ;; Single 24 bits 8 bits
71 ;; Double 50 bits 8 bits
72 ;; Long 50 bits 8 bits

76 ;; There can be fewer than four internal representations for floats. If
77 ;; there are fewer distinct representations, the following rules apply:
78 ;;
79 ;; If there is only one, it is the type single-float. In this
80 ;; representation, an object is simultaneously of types single-float,
81 ;; double-float, short-float, and long-float.
82 ;;
83 ;; Two internal representations can be arranged in either of the
84 ;; following ways:
85 ;;
86 ;; Two types are provided: single-float and short-float. An object is
87 ;; simultaneously of types single-float, double-float, and long-float.

89 ;; Two types are provided: single-float and double-float. An object is

91 ;; and long-float.

93 ;; Three internal representations can be arranged in either of the
94 ;; following ways:
