e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people who are no longer maintaining those ports.

This module extends the functionality of Math::Symbolic by offering
|
|
facilities to compile symbolic math trees (formulas) to C code. It also
|
|
uses Inline::C to compile and link the generated C code at run-time, thus
|
|
allowing the user to do symbolic calculations in Perl with Math::Symbolic
|
|
and then use the results in a fast numeric environment.
|
|
|
|
This software generates code. Code generators are difficult to test, but
|
|
the first release of the module is now 1.5 years old and I haven't
|
|
received any bug reports, so I consider it somewhat stable now.
|
|
|
|
Please read the manpage of Math::Symbolic::Compiler which comes with the
|
|
Math::Symbolic distribution. Most of the gotchas involved with compiling
|
|
the functions to Perl subroutines also apply to this module which compiles
|
|
to C instead.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use the module not for faster calculations from
|
|
your Perl program, but to generate C code for you. I have used it to
|
|
generate an implementation for (many!) Zernike Polynomials for work in C.
