java.lang.Math.log replaced by intrinsic call, why not java.lang.Math.exp()?

Question

I\'m reasking a question that had too little attention I think:

Why does this simple code (simply a call to Math.log()):

Double thisdoub         


        

Answer 1

I would assume that the code in the Math class is only a fallback code, used by those architectures where the method invocation isn't substituted by a call to some native floating point operation instead. So the method doesn't actually get called in your case. I must confess I don't have evidence tu support this assumption, though.
