32 /* d1mach.c. Ben Allan
33 C replacement for d1mach.f in terms of ANSI constants.
34 The LINPACK d1mach.f is not such that f77 compilers pick
35 the right set of constants automatically.
36
37 Observed equivalences:
38 F D1MACH( 1) = B**(EMIN-1), THE SMALLEST POSITIVE MAGNITUDE.
39 C DBL_MIN
40 F D1MACH( 2) = B**EMAX*(1 - B**(-T)), THE LARGEST MAGNITUDE.
41 C DBL_MAX
42 F D1MACH( 3) = B**(-T), THE SMALLEST RELATIVE SPACING.
43 C DBL_EPSILON/2
44 F D1MACH( 4) = B**(1-T), THE LARGEST RELATIVE SPACING.
45 C DBL_EPSILON
46 F D1MACH( 5) = LOG10(B)
47 C NONE
48 B: FLT_RADIX
49 EMIN: DBL_MIN_EXP
50 EMAX: DBL_MAX_EXP
51 T: DBL_MANT_DIG
52
53 On alphas d1mach(3)=DBL_EPSILON/2 for some reason. Returning
54 DBL_EPSILON may result in 1 bit of conservatism in some codes, but
55 this is the price of portability.

64 /* Commentary and Apology:
65 * We used to have a bunch of #ifdef's here trying to figure out which
66 * platform we were on and then blessing our d1mach function with the
67 * proper number of underbars (d1mach vs d1mach_) so that the linker
68 * would not whine about missing symbols due to the insanity of
69 * whether or not the f77 compiler puts an underbar on the symbols it
70 * generates. Of course, just to make life fun, it's not strictly
71 * platform dependent, since some f77 compilers accept flags that turn
72 * the underbars on or off. Given this lunacy and the wasted time of
73 * trying to tack down this bug every time it occurs, we've decided to
74 * just duplicate the function and be finished with the underbar
75 * madness. We realize this sucks and we apologize for it, but at
76 * this point,``Frankly, my dears, we don't give a damn.''
