Replacing FloatMath native implementation with calls to Math
On modern versions of Android running in AOT mode FloatMath is slower than Math. Calls to Math.sqrt(), etc. are replaced by intrinsics which can be as small as a single CPU opcode. When running in interpreted mode the new implementation is unfortunately slower, but I'm judging this acceptable and likely to be improved over time. This change saves a small amount of native code. Example timings: Mako AOSP AOT: Method: Original / New / Direct call to Math ceil: 596ns / 146.ns / 111ns sqrt: 694ns / 56ns / 25ns Mako AOSP interpreted: Method: Original / New / Direct call to Math ceil: 1900ns / 2307ns / 1485ns sqrt: 1998ns / 2603ns / 1788ns Other calls Mako AOT: Method: Original / New cos: 635ns / 270ns exp: 566ns / 324ns floor: 604ns / 150ns hypot: 631ns / 232ns pow: 936ns / 643ns sin: 641ns / 299ns The advice to use Math directly, in preference to FloatMath, is still good. FloatMath will be deprecated separately. Bug: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=36199 Change-Id: I8d1947d88b3c576643138b1df589fb9da7c1ab88
