l33t h4x0r's way to do trig

Code:

 void inline ASMSinCos( float rad, float *sin, float *cos )

 {

 #ifdef _MSC_VER // This routine seems to be M$ specific...

    _asm

    {

           fld DWORD PTR[rad]

           fsincos

           mov edx, DWORD PTR[cos]

           mov eax, DWORD PTR[sin]

           fstp DWORD PTR[edx]

           fstp DWORD PTR[eax]

    }

 #else

    *sin = sin(rad);

    *cos = cos(rad);

 #endif

 }

This one is tested thoroughly without problem, anyway you might need VC Processor Pack to use this :)

This is much faster than just using sin() and cos(). Maybe it's useful for l33t math beasts who uses scary math routine everywhere in code. :)

good thing cos and sin is avaible anyway..

this is just @$3.1415riningly nonunderstandable, Whistler... where did you get that from ? o_O

Nice hax. "fsincos" is some kind of asm/3dnow now macro or something? ???:(
BTW cos and sin operates on *double*, cosf and sinf operates on *float* I use this only since I assume they are faster than their double brothers.

well, why not understandable ? plain asm, nothing more, or did I miss something ...

whistler, for asm stuff on gcc you can check __asm__ :-) I had this problem too, with my high precision timer

on current cpu's this shouldnt make much a difference as long as you don't do millions of float operations and hit the mem transfer limit. internally they use 80bit flpts, anyway, I think

Re: l33t h4x0r's way to do trig

very l33t there indeed. Now we can run millions of times sin and cos and do some cool stuff with it. Dunno what yet though :)

Re: l33t h4x0r's way to do trig

That's what I meant. Only you can understand it :)

For myself I have no clue what "fsincos" does and what's left in the registers after this call.

*edit*
lmao @ Stefan, good one dude :D
