Subject: Deviations in _Sinh(double, double); and the related functions.
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2003 14:58:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <77ED2BF75D59D1439F90412CC5B1097404454606@ie10-sahara.hiso.honeywell.com> (raw)
The following functions are giving wrong results for some of the inputs on
gcc_ppc compiler with Dinkumware library.
double _Sinh(double, double);
float _FSinh(float, float);
long double _LSinh(long double, long double);
These are declared in <ymath.h> in Dinkumware library.
These functions are supposed to behave as follows
_Sinh(a, b) = sinh(a) * b
But when the value of the the first argument('a') is in between [-0.55, 0)
or (0, 0.55]
I am getting wrong results.
_Sinh(a, b) is returning a value equal to sinh(a), what ever may be the
second argument, for the above range of values.
For zero and values very near to it(like 0.00000013) and other values, I am
getting right results.
Here is the sample code.
#include <ymath.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
void verify(char * comment_string, double actual_value, double
expected_value)
{
cout<<comment_string<<"\t\t"<<actual_value<<"\t\t"<<expected_value<<endl;
}
void main()
{
for(double value = -0.6; (value <= 0.6); value += 0.01)
{
cout<<"Angle : "<<value<<endl;
verify("_Sinh with second arg as -1.2",
_Sinh(value, -1.2), std::sinh(value) * -1.2);
verify("_Sinh with second arg as -1.0",
_Sinh(value, -1.0), std::sinh(value) * -1.0);
verify("_Sinh with second arg as -0.9",
_Sinh(value, -0.9), std::sinh(value) * -0.9);
verify("_Sinh with second arg as -0.2",
_Sinh(value, -0.2), std::sinh(value) * -0.2);
verify("_Sinh with second arg as 0.0",
_Sinh(value, 0.0), std::sinh(value) * 0.0);
verify("_Sinh with second arg as 0.2",
_Sinh(value, 0.2), std::sinh(value) * 0.2);
verify("_Sinh with second arg as 0.9",
_Sinh(value, 0.9), std::sinh(value) * 0.9);
verify("_Sinh with second arg as 1.0",
_Sinh(value, 1.0), std::sinh(value) * 1.0);
verify("_Sinh with second arg as 1.2",
_Sinh(value, 1.2), std::sinh(value) * 1.2);
}
verify("_Sinh for a value very near to zero",
_Sinh(value, 0.00000013), std::sinh(value) * 0.00000013);
}
Observe that when the values for 'a' for _Sinh(a, b) are in the range [-0.6,
-0.55] the results are correct,
for [-0.55, 0.55] results are wrong(except for zero),
for [0.55, 0.6] the results are correct.
Can you please tell me if my observation is correct and why this is
happening like this.
Thanks,
pavan.
