Hello.
Please review these straightforward changes for
7075098: Remove unused fdlibm files
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/7075098.0/
The JDK math libraries in java.lang.{Math, StrictMath} do not expose all
the functionality implemented in the embedded copy of FDLIBM (freely
distributable math library). Since we do not plan do expose the
remaining functionality (erf, gamma, lgama, j0, j1, jn, acosh, asinh,
etc.) and these functions are not needed by the Java core libs directly
or by transitivity, this changeset removes the unneeded files from the
build.
On my Linux build, with this change the size of the compiled fdlibm
library file went down from 234,372 to 165,750 and all the math library
regression tests pass.
Thanks,
-Joe
