Shared-code and automatic ability to use an attached numeric processor.
When you use the math libraries, your application does not have to contain
the code to do the math--your application will be smaller. As an
additional benefit, when you add a math co-processor the libraries
will use them without any change to your executable.
>Or does Lattice C (say) call the math library routines?
Lattice C can call the math libraries if you set the correct flags.
See the Lattice manual for information on "lc", then look for the
"-f" flag.
