About:
Openlibm is a high-quality, portable, open-source implementation of the C math library (libm). It provides standard math functions like sin, cos, and exp, designed for robustness and performance across various platforms. This independent library ensures accurate floating-point computations without relying on system-specific implementations.
Key Features:
  • Portable across multiple architectures and operating systems
  • ISO C99 and IEEE 754 compliant
  • High accuracy and robustness in floating-point operations
  • Independent of system libc implementation
Use Cases:
  • Embedding in projects requiring a reliable math library
  • Replacing system libm on platforms with suboptimal implementations
  • Development of scientific and numerical computing applications
Alternatives:
  • System libm – System libm is often optimized for specific hardware but may lack portability or full standards compliance compared to Openlibm.
  • Glibc libm – Part of the GNU C Library; it is widely used but tightly coupled with the glibc ecosystem, whereas Openlibm is a standalone distribution.
