Hi all, I have started integrating the FastMath class from MATH-375. I have not committed anything for now as I am first fixing numerous checkstyle errors (more than 300) and wanted to have one clean commit to simplify patching both trunk for 3.0 and branch 2.X.
One less obvious problem is unit tests. The current tests (which I converted to Junit 4) depend on a few external classes that themselve depend on a LGPL library, and this library doesn seem to be available in maven repositories. This imply that we cannot include the library in the release, and we cannot either use it as an optional dependency for tests. I would suggest to completely remove this library and create tests simply by storing reference values in files that we would read. It would be similar to the existing tests for random values or stats. The file could of course be created using dfp or any other reference high precision package (having several different reference sources would be better IMHO). We would remove the random aspect of the tests, which may or may not be a problem.
