With this test case:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
unsigned int ta;
main ()
{
double result;
for (ta = 1; ta <= 8000000; ta++)
{
result = sin(ta * 3.14159);
}
printf("result = \t%.13e\n", result);
}
Using sin vs sinf.
sin:
$ time ./a.out
result = -6.9068092664138e-01
real 0m0.782s
user 0m0.778s
sys 0m0.004s
sinf:
$ time ./a.out
result = -6.9068092107773e-01
real 0m8.622s
user 0m8.605s
sys 0m0.009s
The difference in assembly code (-S output):
44,47c44,47
< call sin
< movsd %xmm0, -40(%rbp)
< movq -40(%rbp), %rax
< movq %rax, -8(%rbp)
---
> cvtsd2ss %xmm0, %xmm0
> call sinf
> cvtss2sd %xmm0, %xmm0
> movsd %xmm0, -8(%rbp)
I don't think the conversion functions should account for this huge time
difference. Also with -m32 and sinf I get:
$ time ./a.out
result = -6.9068092664141e-01
real 0m1.157s
user 0m0.765s
sys 0m0.002s
Which is more reasonable.
$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
