greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
A place for the discussion of all things not closely related to the sport and its competitive side. (as always, locked for the duration of major international championship)
40 posts • Page 1 of 1
greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
we've had other threads on great movies, but this one is such a radical departure (it's truly global, not Hollywood-centric like most other musings on the topic) I figured it could get its own thread.
British Film Institute poll. After many-many years, Vertigo finally passes Citizen Kane:
All kinds of "foreign" films in there that I'll readily admit to not even being aware of the existence thereof.
But how can I take any poll seriously which puts Mullholland Drive in the No. 28 position?
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
Zackly, plus it's easily argued that Vertigo isn't even Hitchcock's best.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
I liked it the best of all Hitchcock's. Also the best of all Jimmy Stewart's.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
Despite its schlockiness, Psycho is the best (IMO) H movie ever. There are so many clever directorial and editing elements, it exceeds even Vertigo's virtuosity (which is indeed immense).
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
I saw Vertigo at a Hitchcock retrospective at National Film Theatre the other night
What a load of crap. Totally unconvincing in every way, ridiculous script, ridiculous dialogue, awful over acting but worst of all it was REALLY boring. I didn't care about any of the characters, or the plot which is pretty important in enjoying a film
I was gobsmacked that this was considered a competent piece of film making never mind the best of all time !!
Kim Novak looked great though
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
I'm always amazed at the high rating that Vertigo gets. I saw it, and was not very impressed. Kind of boring. Maybe I'm missing some deeper elements. I know that the first time that I saw Citizen Kane, I thought it was kind of boring and wondered what the big deal was. Then I saw it with people who studied it in film class. They were pointing out all of the subtle elements that I totally missed the first time.
Of the top 50, I've seen about 25 which isn't bad. I tried to watch a few more on the list, but couldn't get through them.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
Never seen 3, 4, or 5. (or 20 others)
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
This list is for art buffs. I remember in college seeing many of these older movies and having to listen to intellectual babble about how great they were. If your into the esoteria of these buffs this may be only one of many lists. Metaphor and symbolism pervade these movies and the buffs look for them so they can dissect them and argue intellectual twaddle about them. Hey I'm not biased am I??? I used to have a roomate who would drive me crazy with "symbolism/metaphor" talk about movies and books. It left me cold.
The one thing that struck me about many of these movies is that they are an intellectual artists view ABOUT the world and not about THE world. They are not natural or in some cases they are too natural (endless talk, endless panning of scenes without dialog, people doing every day boring things ad nauseam.) Once you see a movie it hits you subjectively and that's different for everybody. I've seen movies that really hit me where I live at the time and not the next viewing, because I wasn't in that spot anymore. Many movies I saw when I was young seemed way more sophistictaed and deep than they do now. If I still think it's good decades later it goes to my "best" list.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
In all seriousness, great stuff jeremyp... that may be the best bit of analysis of film analysis I've ever read.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
I have seen a few of these "great" films, most in original releases in the 1930s-40s in glorious black and white. I was certainly no film critic and do not remember my assessment at the time.
When I see old movies now I am struck by the crude graphics, over acting, stilted/corny dialogue and wonder what is so great about them.
My now 44 year old youngest daughter was a big fan of old movies as a teenager and twenty-something but has come share my opinion.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
Of course it is, and that's just fine. And people who care about the "art" of anything--music, architecture, fashion, whatever--tend to have a different view of these subjects from casual consumers. Which is exactly why those lists are worth looking at in the first place.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
Don't forget MGM's motto: ars gratia artis (art for art's sake).
But Mullholland Drive?! If they wanna do something weird by David Lynch why didn't they just stick to the old standby, Eraserhead?!
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
Communist politruks used to seethe over this concept. This was bourgeois decadence.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
Couldn't agree more, but we all have to remember that films (and art in general) like these are FOR intellectuals (one of the few terms I know that has very positive and very negative connotations) and each one represents A perspective that may or may not be shared with very many other people. As with all art, it is what you behold it to be, nothing more, nothing less.
And to rephrase Socrates: A life without art is not worth living.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
Bernard Hermann score is pretty dominant and if you really like it you probably really like the film.
It's hard to pick against The Godfather which is almost perfection as I see it (fan of ethnic criminal stuff or not). I didn't see Wizard of Oz on the list. Not too shabby either.
I think the first adult film I paid to see was Lawrence of Arabia which was a good standard to set.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
I'm a huge movie buff, having watched over 4300 movies in my life.
(I have two notebooks with ALL the movies I've seen listed, with their year of release, under various categories.)
I also LOVE to make lists and do ratings.
Thus, I've listed my top 15 movies from each individual year, starting in 1970.
Before that, from 1938 through 1969, I've rated the best movies I've seen in TWO-year groupings (1938-1939, 1940-1941, and so on, through 1968-1969.)
And before THAT, because I'd seen far less movies from the early days, I rated my 15 favorite movies from the beginning of the "sound" era through 1937. (1927-1937.)
Following, in more than one post (because of space needed), are my "top 3" from each grouping of years, or from the individual years of 1970 onward.
Keep in mind that ANY rating system, especially that of an individual human being, is HIGHLY subjective!!
Mine certainly is!!
I'll list the titles in order (1-2-3) after each year.
1927-1937: King Kong, Les Miserables, Frankenstein.
1938-1939: Of Mice and Men, Mr Smith Goes to Washington, A Christmas Carol.
1940-1941: The Wolf Man, Our Town, The Grapes of Wrath.
1942-1943: The Moon and Sixpence, The Pride of the Yankees, Shadow of a Doubt.
1944-1945: The Clock, The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, The Lost Weekend.
1946-1947: Miracle On 34th Street, The Ghost and Mrs Muir, The Bicycle Thief.
1948-1949: Rope, State of the Union, White Heat.
Continued in the next post.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
1950-1951: A Christmas Carol, The Day the Earth Stood Still, The African Queen.
1952-1953: From Here to Eternity, Moulin Rouge, House of Wax.
1954-1955: The Honeymooners (TV-39 classic episodes), Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier (the Disney series with Fess Parker), Godzilla, King of the Monsters (the original).
1956-1957: The Ten Commandments (my #1 all-time favorite movie!!!), Lust for Life, Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
1958-1959: I Want to Live!, The Tingler, The World, the Flesh, and the Devil.
NOTE: In this previous group, I rated a TV series #1. This will occur in future years too. But I rate a show for its entire season, or seasons,, not for one episode. Also, in the future, you'll find "concert movies" rated. Sometimes, music wins!! One other thing: There are some "made for TV" movies rated as well. I'll note these when applicable. Oh yes, one MORE thing: Some earlier movies have been remade, using the same title. As noted, I rate each movie in the year of its release.
1960-1961: Psycho, The Little Shop of Horrors, The Alamo.
1962-1963: The Birds, To Kill a Mockingbird, A Child is Waiting.
1964-1965: The T.A.M.I. Show (a concert movie), The Sound of Music, Woman in the Dunes. (A Hard Day's Night is 4th!!!)
1966-1967: Don't Look Back (Dylan doc.), The Graduate, Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolff?.
1968-1969: 2001: A Space Odyssey, Yellow Submarine, Rosemary's Baby.
1970: Let It Be, Woodstock (concert movie), Performance.
1971: Play Misty for Me, Duel, Silent Running.
1972: Play It Again, Sam, Slaughterhouse Five, C..Ksucker Blues (Fill in the blanks...it's a dirty word!! But a GREAT doc on the Rolling Stones!!)

1974: Young Frankenstein, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, Claudine.
1975: Jaws, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Janis (bio doc on Janis Joplin.)

Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
That may be the Tafny understatement of the year. I have top 10 lists for the last 20 years and thought I had everyone else out-geeked - not even close! T'anx!
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
Read through your lists rather quickly. Don't see any movies made by most foreign directors, including Bergman, Kurosawa, Ray, Wajda. (Have a look at Katyn from the last named). Don't know which version of Moon and Sixpence you refer to. But I reread the book after many years, and was dumbfounded by the stupid plot/story. I should add that overall I regard Maugham as one of the greatest short story writers in English - just ranked below Maupassant, Tolstoy, and Chekov, when other languages are included. I was surprised by your comments about The Ten Commandments - Charlton Heston playing Moses for starters! Take a look at Michelangelo's Moses in San Pietro in Vincoli, Rome, and see if that is the guy you see in the movie.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
Um . . . uh . . . I'm pretty sure Michaelangelo did not have Moses pose for the statue. The statue is way cool (I've even been there to see it) and everything, but . . .
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
T&FN co-owner Ed Fox has been rating his movies seen since the late '50s.
But my choice for ultimate geek is the T&FN tour member from Washington who is well into his goal of watching every Oscar-nominated acting appearance ever.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
Can one prove Moses was a historical figure? I was trying to compare someone from a movie with a much greater "expression" of what he may have been like. Others have also stepped inside San Pietro in Vincoli - I did so in summer 1992.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
I still don't follow. There's no doubt that the statue is magnificent
http://santitafarella.files.wordpress.c ... =460&h=739
but as long as you're casting real live people to portray him, CH was pretty righteous!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/ ... -Moses.jpg
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
Also not a big fan of Vertigo -- probably don't dislike it quite as intensely as mump, but on the highlighted statement, we are in complete agreement.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
With a list that includes this I am not surprised...
2011: Sarah Palin's Alaska (complete TV series), Martha Marcy May Marlene, The Undefeated (doc on Sarah Palin)
Only watched one "movie" from this year thus far.....the complete TV series "Life's a Tripp!"...about Bristol Palin and her son Tripp.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
Thanks for the compliment!!
Be interesting to compare your top 10's to my top 15's (from the past 20 years).
But like I said, any lists or ratings by INDIVIDUALS are inherently highly......heck, TOTALLY......subjective!!
So since, as they say in Zen.........if a million people looked at one tree, they'd see a million different trees........we could never agree 100%. And with some, as little as 0%. To be able to match just 50% of our choices would make us "a match made in Heaven"!!!
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
I'll reply to both your points.
Re Heston as Moses, or my choice of "Commandments" as my #1 A-T movie.....as I noted, my lists, or those of ANY individual, are subjective.
Two people will probably never totally agree on ANYTHING when it comes to choices in personal taste. Not even husbands and wives!! (Maybe ESPECIALLY husbands and wives!! )
But my choice of "Ten" is because I personally LOVED that movie (Have watched all 4 hours of it more than 50 times!!!).
I didn't choose it because it was historically accurate, or because Heston looked like Moses cloned!!
As someone else said, does even Michaelangelo's version look like Moses??
(BTW, my name is Aaron. I was named after Moses brother!!)
As for those foreign directors, I don't rate a movie based on who directed it, or even by who acted in it.
I rate them by if I was entertained by the movie, if it moved me emotionally in some way (joy, fear, sadness, etc), if it mesmerized me as I watched it.
Just as there are criteria T&FN uses to rate their AOY's, so too does anyone who rates their favorite movies (songs, books, etc) have their OWN criteria.
I have MANY foreign movies on my lists......but not paying attention to director's names, I won't watch a movie based on a NAME (director, actor).
You mentioned "Moon and Sixpence", the movie. Didn't know there's more than 1 version!! Mine is the 1942 movie with George Sanders. It's the story of Gauguin, the artist.
Also, my lists go 15 deep!! I just gave the top 3.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
As I noted, I don't have my TV working, nor do I have my VCR going.
Not since 2007.
Also, I don't go to theaters.
Thus, ALL the movies I've seen this century (!!) have been by VHS or DVD.
Since a movie generally doesn't come out for 6 months to a year AFTER its theatrical release on DVD, I haven't seen ANY 2012 movies yet, though several are on my list to watch them when I can.
As for rating Palin's TV show and movie so highly, it's NOT entirely political!!
If you want to see parts of Alaska you haven't seen (or have!!), watch that show.
Beautiful scenery.
And politics aside, Sarah Palin is a VERY entertaining (and funny!!) person.
(Though if you want to see the detailed TRUTH about Sarah's political career, watch "The Undefeated". It's the opposite of HBO's "Game Change" or most other media portrayals of Palin's career.)
Note that "Martha Marcy May Marlene" splits the 2 Palin features.
It's an EXCELLENT tale of a girl who escapes the cult she's hooked by, goes to live with her sister and her husband, and what happens next.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
I will take your word for it. But I am glad you enjoyed it.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
Thank you kind sir!
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
The book/story "Moon and Sixpence" is a very loose "adaptation" of Gauguin's life, is full of cliches and impossibilities. May or may not have seen the movie version. I agree that one should not judge a movie by the director's name/reputation. But if you not been moved by a single movie by the four directors I listed, you have missed out on a lot. Went through your list of movies more closely and could find very few ( two or so) that were not in English. The rest of the world is not to be considered, and has not really produced any great movies? I am well aware of who the "first" Aaron was - and what has your name or mine for that matter got to do with movie appreciation?
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
aaronk -
Wow - the list is incredible and the amount of time watching movies is massive. Logistically, how did you do this? I did some wuick math and with your 15 deep list in the time periods shown = 900 movies. Just the movies no repeats (per 50x viewing 10 Commandments and surely there had to be others!). I must develop my stamina!!!! very impressive indeed. Watching is one thing recording and retaining data is another. all hail aaronk ... except gh is claiming to know a worthy foe
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
Only 13 movies on that list made (at least the original versions) after 1970. We need to see a list of these voters and their ages. It reminds me of all the baseball old timers who reminisce about how great the 40's, 50's & 60's were. To some of these guys the current era players could never stand up to their memories of what was. Is it because their own lives were more exciting to them then and these movies elicit fond memories of the past?
I just find it too unfathomable that the industry reached its creative peak 50 years ago and has been going downhill since.
Some of these movies might be good, some maybe even great, but I bet the vast majority are best used for treating insomnia on a late night.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
That would only reveal what pedestrian taste I have in the movies I enjoy. On the hand, a have another list of great films I admire as cinematic art, but even that one has The Dark Knight (HL as The Joker) near the top, for which I was roundly booed here, so there ya go!
But . . . here's ten of the best (all are in my Top 20) in no particular order (except #1):
1. Apocalyse Now
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Blade Runner
The Exorcist
Sophie's Choice
To Kill a Mockingbird
Clockwork Orange
Silence of the Lambs
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
Of the movies made 2000 or later that I truly enjoyed, three come to mind. Chocolat, Goya's ghosts and on the silly side Dudley-do-right (well, I checked and Dudley was made in 1999 ).
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
I have said this before on other threads, but at or near the top of my list of great movies would be Jules Dassin's "He Who Must Die". Here's the NY Times review when it was released. (Access may require registration.)
http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review? ... 8383649EDE
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
I saw it shortly after its release. In my humble opinion, this is one of those few movies that are better than the book (Kazantzakis btw, the author of Zorba the Greek among others).
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Next was a great book, better movie. Surprisingly, so was Deliverance.
Re: greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?
Yes, Jules Dassin. His Rififi, one of the great crime films.

Population-based data sources such as national surveys and administrative claims data are valuable resources for testing hypotheses and generating national-level estimates about disability and rehabilitation related-issues. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to identify what datasets are available and further what data are most appropriate for addressing a specific research interest.
This presentation will introduce two new innovative web-based free resources designed to help researchers learn:
• What datasets related to disability and rehabilitation are out there?
• What topics are covered in each dataset?
• What are the dataset strengths and limitations?
• How do I access the datasets?

Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher level language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements and operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct descendant of any other programming language.
Asymptote is a powerful descriptive 2D and 3D vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text. Asymptote is a programming language as opposed to just a graphics program. It can exploit the best features of script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods. High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself, allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.

CDSA stands for Common Data Security Architecture. It provides a security framework that includes cryptographically signed modules to present an abstracted unified API to the application developer to perform cryptographic and security related operations. It also includes hardware support for cryptographic tokens and biometric devices, such as thumbprint scanners. Intel has implemented the CDSA 2 specification and released it as open source.
DeleGate is a multi-purpose application level gateway or proxy server that mediates communication of various protocols, applying cache and conversion for mediated data, controlling access from clients, and routing toward servers. It translates protocols between clients and servers, converting between IPv4 and IPv6, applying SSL (TLS) to arbitrary protocols, merging several servers into a single server view with aliasing and filtering. It can be used as a simple origin server for some protocols (HTTP, FTP, and NNTP).
distributed.net is a loosely knit group of computer users from all of the world that is taking up challenges requiring lots of computing power (most notably the RC5, DES, and OGR cracking contests). It is simple to participate in the challenges by downloading and running their client software (which uses idle CPU time to complete its tasks).
Keep in Touch aims to be a secure IM system for multiple platforms. It supports its own XML-based protocol as well as ICQ and AIM (toc). It provides encrypted connections between the server and client aswell as encrypted chat on all supported networks. The client can store contacts on the server allowing users to keep their contact lists between different locations.

Parent Directory | Revision Log
|Links to HEAD:
|(view) (annotate)
|Sticky Tag:
Need to define %sqrt for x86/sse2 so the compiler can constant-fold SQRT.
Change uses of _"foo" to (intl:gettext "foo"). This is because slime may get confused with source locations if the reader macros are installed.
Remove _N"" reader macro from docstrings when possible.
Merge intl-branch 2010-03-18 to HEAD. To build, you need to use boot-2010-02-1 as the bootstrap file. You should probably also use the new -P option for build.sh to generate and update the po files while building.
Restart internalization work. This new branch starts with code from the intl-branch on date 2010-02-12 18:00:00+0500. This version works and LANG=en@piglatin bin/lisp works (once the piglatin translation is added).
Oops. Reporter function for intexp-limit-error needs 2 args, not 1.
Oops. The restart-case :reports only have a stream parameter.
Mark translatable strings; update cmucl.pot and ko/cmucl.po accordingly.
Oops. :report needs a string. Will fix this up later.
Mark translatable strings; update cmucl.pot and ko/cmucl.po accordingly.
Add (intl:textdomain "cmucl") to the files to set the textdomain.
Oops. When we continue from the intexp-limit-error condition and set a new limit, we want to take the absolute value of the power!
Merge from unicode-utf16 branch, label unicode-utf16-char-support-2009-03-25 to get character support.
Merge from HEAD, tag label-2009-03-25. Still left Config.FreeBSD_gencgc (obsolete), Config.x86_freebsd, FreeBSD-os.c and FreeBSD-os.h for Alex to merge.
code/irrat-dd.lisp: o Declare POLY-EVAL and POLY-EVAL-1 as maybe-inline functions so they can be semi-inlined. code/irrat.lisp: o I don't think there's any real reason to make the local function REAL-EXPT inline. It's very big and local function call is already good enough. compiler/float-tran.lisp: o Change some functions to be maybe-inline instead of inline to save on space for the the larger double-double functions: SUB-DD, SUB-D-DD, SUB-DD-D, SPLIT. Semi-inline should be good enough for these large functions, saving on cache memory, local function calling sequence should be good enough.
Merge changes from utf16 branch to update to snapshot 2008-12.
Merge Snapshot 2008-12 to this branch. Some tweaks needed in boot-2008-05-cross-unicode-x86.lisp and the Config files. FreeBSD and Darwin/x86 untested, but Linux and Solaris build ok.
Merge in SSE2 changes from sse2-packed-branch (tag sse2-packed-2008-11-12).
Sync to snapshot 2008-11. But we didn't sync code/extfmts.lisp or iso8859-1.lisp and utf-8.lisp. (I don't think we want those changes, yet.)
Sync to snapshot 2008-11.
Sync to snapshot-2008-11.
o Add new condition type for exceeding the intexp maximum exponent. o Instead of a continuable error, use a restart to allow the user to continue the calculation with the option of updating the limit to the new power. Should we also increase the initial limit to something larger? Should we just eliminate this altogether? Or maybe allow the *intexp-maximum-exponent* to be nil to mean no limit at all?
Ticket #24. Take the rule of float precision contagion (CLHS 188.8.131.52) to also mean that the result should be as accurate as the most accurate argument. Effectively, all args are coerced to the highest precision first before computing expt. There's a simple test program to check that every case is covered with the expected precision. (I think). (defun test-expt () (dolist (base '(2 2f0 2d0 2w0) t) (dolist (power '(1/2 .5f0 .5d0 .5w0)) (flet ((test-it (b p a eps expected) (let* ((res (expt b p)) (absdiff (abs (- res a)))) (unless (or (typep (realpart res) (type-of expected)) (<= absdiff (* 10 eps))) (format t "FAILED: ~A^~A = ~A (~A)~%" b p res a))))) ;; Compute base^power. (let* ((expected-type (let ((prod (* base power))) (if (rationalp prod) 1f0 prod))) (eps (etypecase expected-type ((or rational single-float) single-float-epsilon) (double-float double-float-epsilon) (double-double-float 1w-31))) (answer (sqrt (float base expected-type)))) (test-it base power answer eps expected-type) (test-it base (complex power) answer eps expected-type) (test-it (complex base) power answer eps expected-type) (test-it (complex base) (complex power) eps answer expected-type))))))
Clean up conditionals.
Initial support for SSE2. This compiles itself ok on Linux, and should work on OSX. Much cleanup is needed, and still need to restore buildability without SSE2. Use bootfiles/19e/boot-2008-09-sse2.lisp as the cross-compile script. The key changes are in these new files: o float-sse2.lisp: implements all of the floating-point stuff with SSE2 o sse2-array.lisp: replacement vops using sse2 instead of x87 o sse2-c-call.lisp: replacement vops using sse2 instead of x87. o sse2-sap.lisp: replacement vops using sse2 instead of x87 code/irrat.lisp: o Basically turn off all the special routines that use the x87 trig, log, or exp instructions. We don't support that currently. (Would be nice, though.) o Turn on %%sin and friends, like on ppc. o Turn off %sin-quick and friends since we don't want to use x87 now. code/misc.lisp: o Register :sse2 feature. compiler/float-tran.lisp: o Disable transforms for x86 that use x87 instructions. We don't support that with sse2. compiler/loadbackend.lisp: o Load up the appropriate sse2 files for the compiler. This will currently overwrite existing vops with vops for SSE2. compiler/x86/float.lisp: o Disable various vops using the x87 instructions, since float-sse2.lisp doesn't have equivalents. (Just in case. Since this isn't compiled or loaded, we shouldn't need to do this.) compiler/x86/insts.lisp: o Add support for SSE2 instructions. Shamelessly borrowed from our SBCL friends. compiler/x86/vm.lisp: o Turn off some fp-constants that are not supported with sse2. o Print FP registers as XMM instead of FR. lisp/Config.linux_gencgc: lisp/Config.x86_darwin: o Enable FEATURE_SSE2 flag when compiling. lisp/Darwin-os.c: lisp/Linux-os.c: o Get the mxcsr status bits too when getting the FPU status from a sigcontext. lisp/x86-assem.S: o For SSE2, we copy any floating-point result (in ST(0)) to XMM0, so Lisp code can get it. tools/comcom.lisp: o Compile up the SSE2 files as needed.
Correct some comments.
Add new interface to ieee754_rem_pio2. No longer need to pass in an array. The new function returns 2 new output values. code/irrat.lisp: o Rename the original %ieee754-rem-pi/2 to %%ieee754-rem-pi-2. o Define the new %ieee754-rem-pi/2 function. This returns the output as two output values instead of an array. o Use the new function. We should have wrapped the original with without-gcing, but we don't have to anymore. lisp/ppc-arch.c: lisp/x86-arch.c: o Implement the new C interface to __ieee754_rem_pio2 lisp/Config.linux_gencgc: o Use -ffloat-store when compiling e_rem_pio2.c and k_rem_pio2.c, just to be sure.
Add (INHIBIT-WARNINGS 3) to get rid of unavoidable note.
Merge LOG2 and LOG2-DD into one function.
Fix trac ticket #8: 2-arg log function can't compute some logs. Extend LOG2 function to handle more cases, and make LOG call LOG2 appropriately, and add LOG2-DD to handle the double-double-float cases.
o Remove unused code in ABS for double-double-float o Implement ABS for complex double-double-floats.
Just add some comment about the routines implementing accurate sin, cos, tan.
Add better trig arg reduction via Sun's fdlibm. lisp/Config.ppc_darwin o Compile e_rem_pio2.c and k_rem_pio2.c code/irrat.lisp: o Update the arg reduction code to support ppc. We call out to the C sin, cos, and tan functions, after the argument has been accurately reduced.
Add the trig argument reduction routines from Sun's fdlibm so we can accurately reduce the arg and therefore compute the value of trig functions accurately. lisp/Config.linux_gencgc: o Compile e_rem_pio2.c and k_rem_pio2.c code/irrat.lisp: o Disable %sin, %cos, %tan functions. o Implement %sin, %cos, and %tan to call the fdlibm routine __ieee754_rem_pio2 to do argument reduction before calling the sin, cos, tan vops. compiler/x86/float.lisp: o Disable the vops for %sin, %cos, and %tan, so the Lisp code in irrat.lisp is used.
This large checkin merges the double-double float support to HEAD. The merge is from the tag "double-double-irrat-end". The double-double branch is now obsolete. The code should build without double-double support (tested on sparc) as well as build with double-double support (tested also on sparc).
code/irrat-dd.lisp: o Fix a warning o Implement x^y for real x < 0 and non-integer y, which returns a complex number. code/irrat.lisp: o Tell EXPT how to handle double-double-float. o Tell Log how to handle double-double-float when two args are given.
Add implementation of special functions for double-double-float. More testing required, but basic functionality works. code/irrat-dd.lisp: o New file which implements all the required special functions for double-double. Modify existing COMPLEX-<foo> functions to handle double-double numbers. code/irrat.lisp: o Update HANDLE-REALS to handle double-double float case. o Update EXPT for double-double float. (But negative number to non-integer power not working yet.) o LOG handles double-double, but not 2-arg log yet. o SQRT handles double-double, including complex result. o ASIN handles double-double. o ACOS handles double-double. o ATAN handles double-double. o ACOSH handles double-double. o ATANH handles double-double. o Adjust declaration for SQUARE, SCALB, LOGB-FINITE, and LOGB to allow any float type. o COMPLEX-SQRT handles double-doubles. o COMPLEX-LOG handles double-doubles. o COMPLEX-ATANH handles double-doubles. o COMPLEX-TANH handles double-doubles. o COMPLEX-ACOS handles double-doubles. o COMPLEX-ASIN handles double-doubles. o COMPLEX-ASINH handles double-doubles. o COMPLEX-ATAN handles double-doubles. o COMPLEX-TAN handles double-doubles. tools/worldbuild.lisp: o Load irrat-dd. tools/worldcom.lisp: o Compile irrat-dd.
Initial support for (complex double-double-float). Use boot-2006-06-2-cross-dd* to cross compile this change (along with the simple-array double-double-float change).
Add basic support for reading and printing double-double-floats. I think this needs to be built from a binary that already has basic double-double support. That is, you need to compile these changes with a binary built from the double-double-branch. (It may work to cross-compile this from the 2006-06 snapshot, but I did not try it.) Reading double-double-floats appears to work. PRINT appears to work. However, formatted output of double-double-floats may not be accurate because SCALE-EXPONENT still only supports double-floats. code/bignum.lisp: o Add support for coercing a BIGNUM to a DOUBLE-DOUBLE-FLOAT. code/float.lisp: o Add support for converting a RATIO to a DOUBLE-DOUBLE-FLOAT. This is needed to be able to read a double-double-float correctly. o INTEGER-DECODE-DOUBLE-DOUBLE-FLOAT seems to be buggy. Use a new version that works but probably conses more than is necessary and is probably slower than necessary. This is needed to print out DOUBLE-DOUBLE-FLOATs correctly. o Add DECODE-DOUBLE-DOUBLE-FLOAT while we're at it. o Add SCALE-DOUBLE-DOUBLE-FLOAT. This is also needed for printing. o Disable %DOUBLE-DOUBLE-FLOAT. There's already an implementation in float-tran. (We really should move the float-tran version to here.) code/format.lisp: o Tell printer to use #\w when printing double-double-floats. code/irrat.lisp: o The deftransform for ABS is working, so use that instead of the hack. code/numbers.lisp: o Update FLOAT-CONTAGION to support mixing rationals with double-double-floats. code/print.lisp: o Recognize double-double-floats for printing. Use "w" as the exponent marker for double-double floats. o Very minor change to FLONUM-TO-DIGITS to support double-double-floats. code/reader.lisp: o Tell the reader that #\w and #\W are exponent markers for double-double-float numbers by giving them the secondary attribute constituent-expt. o Tell the reader to creat double-double-floats when reading such numbers.
Add basic support for kernel:double-double-float type. The primitive type is there, and basic arithmetic operations work as well as PRINT. But many things do not work: No reader, formatted output, many mixed type arithmetic operations, special functions are just double-float values, coerced to double-double-float. compiler/generic/interr.lisp: o Add new error compiler/generic/new-genesis.lisp: o Dump double-double-float objects (barely tested) compiler/generic/primtype.lisp: o Tell compiler about the new primitive type double-double-float. compiler/generic/vm-fndb.lisp: o Make double-double-float-p a known function. compiler/generic/vm-type.lisp: o Update FLOAT-FORMAT-NAME to include double-double-float compiler/generic/vm-typetran.lisp: o Tell compiler about double-double-float type predicate. compiler/sparc/float.lisp: o Add necessary vops to move double-double-float args, store and load double-double-floats to/from the double-double-stack, double-double-reg moves, box and unbox double-double-floats, move double-double-floats to and from args o Add necessary vops to create a double-double-float and to extract the high and low parts out of a double-double-float. compiler/sparc/parms.lisp: o Define double-double-float-digits compiler/sparc/type-vops.lisp: o Define double-double-float type vop o Adjust number hierarchy to include double-double-float compiler/sparc/vm.lisp: o Define the necessary storage class and storage base for the double-double-reg and double-double-stack. lisp/gencgc.c: o Tell GC about double-double-float objects. lisp/purify.c: o Tell purify about double-double-float objects. code/class.lisp: o Add the new double-double-float class. code/exports.lisp: o Add the necessary symbols to the various packages. (This is important to get right otherwise there's confusion on what symbol really represents double-double-float stuff.) code/float.lisp: o Implement some of the necessary functions to support double-double-float. code/hash-new.lisp: o Hash double-double-floats by xor'ing the hashes of each double-float part. (Is that good enough?) code/irrat.lisp: o Implement the special functions by calling the double-float versions and coercing the result to a double-double-float. This is needed to get type-derivation working, but the precise value isn't that important right now. We'll have to implement them later. code/kernel.lisp: o Make make-double-double-float, double-double-hi, and double-double-lo known functions. code/lispinit.lisp: o Register the :double-double float feature. code/load.lisp: o Add FOP for reading double-double-float values from fasls. (Barely tested, if at all.) code/numbers.lisp: o Implement basic arithmetic operations for double-double-floats. This needs quite a bit of work to clean up, but most things work. code/pred.lisp: o Tell the type system about double-double-float type. code/print.lisp: o Add very rudimentary printing for double-double-float. Basically copied from code written by Richard Fateman, with permission. code/seq.lisp: o Tell coerce how to coerce things to a double-double-float. code/type.lisp: o Tell type system about the new float format double-double-float and how numeric contagion works with double-double-float. code/dump.lisp: o Tell dumper how to dump double-double-float values to a fasl. compiler/float-tran.lisp: o Add appropriate deftransforms to handle conversion of things to double-double-float and from from double-double-float to other float types. o The basic implmentation of double-double-float arithmetic is also here. o Add deftransforms to tell the compiler how to do basic arithmetic and comparisions on double-double-float numbers. compiler/srctran.lisp: o Fix a bug in interval-range-info when :low is 0dd0 and :high is 0. We weren't returning the right value, which confuses interval-div, which caused an infinite loop because we couldn't split the numerator into positive and negative parts. o Tell other parts about double-double-float.
Don't produce a continuable error in INTEXP, if we're raising 1 to some power. (Maxima does this sometimes, and it's annoying to have CMUCL stop for this.)
It seems we need kernel::%sqrt to be defined for sparc. It's used, sometimes, during constant folding in the compiler. (What else is missing?)
Merge code from main branch of 2005-12-17 to ppc gencgc branch. Still doesn't work of course.
Fix some issues with two-arg log function. (log 17 10f0), (log 17f0 10), and (log 17 10) returned different single-float results. I think this is allowed by ANSI CL, but I think it's unfortunate. Therefore, try to apply float contagion to the arguments before computing the log function. Also, if both args are single-floats or rationals, we coerce them to double-floats before computing the result. This makes (log 17 10) = (log 17.0 10). There are other cases still to be considered.
ASIN and ACOS were getting errors when given NaN's. Check for that case and dispatch to the real-valued C functions in that case. This fixes some errors in the asin and acos tests from ieeefp-tests (at common-lisp.net).
CMUCL was computing the values of asin, acos, and atanh on the branch cuts on the real line incorrectly. This shows up when calling these functions with real-valued args, not complex. The problem was the computed values were not continuous with the quadrants specified by ANSI CL. Issue noted by Bruno Haible, cmucl-imp, 2004-10-11. See also some tests on cmucl-imp, 2004-10-19.
EXPT sometimes returned NaN when the power was 0 instead of 1. Make it return 1 (of the right type) in these cases. We still produce a FP trap, if enabled, though. Is that right?
Merge in 19a-branch fix for the atanh bug.
Fix bug in atanh(1 + i*y), and also for x + i*y for large x or y.
Merge in rev 1.38 to fix the problem where we were returning wrong values for asin and acos when the arg was on the branch cut.
Fix some issues with the complex functions with signed zeroes. See comment for full details, but the issue is that Lisp says mixing a real and a complex requires converting the real to complex before doing the operation. But Kahan's algorithms assume that this doesn't happen, like z-1 should not be computed as z-(1+0*i). One place where this was wrong was for acos(2 +/- 0i). Kahan says acos(2+0i) is +0 - i*acosh(2) and acos(2-0i) is +0 + i*acosh(2). We had this backwards for the above reason. I think this was caused by the erroneous deftransforms for real op complex which were removed sometime ago, causing these function to compute the wrong thing.
Chrisophe Rhodes noted that (log 19/3) was losing precision. Fix that by calling log2 instead of log to compute the result.
Fix typo in computing log of rational where the numerator and denominator are different lengths. Should be log, not log2.
Was losing precision for (log x) when x is a rational near 1. Handle this better by using %log1p when needed. Problem noted by Christophe Rhodes.
Allow computation of log's of big integers that might not fit in a single-float or double-float. Thus (log (expt 2 32768) 2) will return 32768.0 instead of causing an error.
Give a better error message for atan when given an arg that isn't REAL in the two arg case.
Mega commit to bring RELENG_18 branch in sync with HEAD in preparation for release tagging 18d.
o Fix the declaration bug in complex-log-scaled o Remove the old special function routines o Add logb-finite to help optimize the use of logb o Remove some unneeded declarations since the compiler is smarter now than when this was originally written. o Add inhibit-warnings to coerce-to-complex-type since their unavoidable. o The cores of some routines are compiled with speed 3 and space 0 to get some maybe-inline routines inlined.
Change most PROCLAIMs to DECLAIMs.
This set of revisions brings the RELENG_18 branch up to HEAD in preparation for an 18c release.
Use only one of :sparc-v7, :sparc-v8, or :sparc-v9 when building to get the desired features. From Raymond Toy.
Use the fsqrt VOP on the SPARC V7 and up.
This (huge) revision brings the RELENG_18 branch up to the current HEAD. Note code/unix-glib2.lisp not yet included -- not sure it is ready to go.
Kahan says (sqrt -0.0) returns -0.0.
Now have an inline verion of %log1p for the x86 port so don't need to call the C library version.
Fix float-trapping-nan-p which was returning T for quiet NaN and Nil of trapping NaN.
Return #C(0.0 0.0) rather than -0.0 for (sqrt -0.0).
Improved support for (complex single-float) and (complex double-float) types. Adds storage classes to the backend for these so they can be stored in registers or on the stack without consing; new primitive types etc. Also adds (simple-array (complex {single,double}-float)) array types to avoid consing and speed vectors operations. All these changes are conditional on the :complex-float feature. More work is needed to exploit these changes: improving the type dispatch in the various function; maybe compiler transforms or more VOPs to handle common functions inline.
Check the accrued exceptions (sticky-bits) within with-float-traps-masked; more reliable than the exceptions-byte on many ports. Call %tan directly in complex-tanh, saves a compiler note on x86.
Check the accrued exceptions (sticky-bits) within with-float-traps-masked; more reliable than the exceptions-byte on many ports.
New implementation of real-expt for the expt function; fixes bugs and improves the handling of special case.
New macro WITH-FLOAT-TRAPS-MASKED to execute a body of code with some floating point exceptions disabled. It avoids the overhead of {set,get}-floating-point-modes, saving some consing and generally giving smaller code. Exploit this new macro where {set,get}-floating-point-modes has been used.

In complex-tanh change tan -> %tan to avoid a compiler warning on the x86 port.
Inline scalb and better declare its 'n' argument so the compiler can generate inline code for this operation. Few other little cleanups.
initial post 1.3.7 merge
Werkowskis source kit 1.03.7
Merge fix from Douglas Crosher to make acosh and atanh return the right thing.
Fix headed boilerplate.
Removed %exp1m, %log1p, and %cbrt because nobody used them, and HPUX doens't have them. Added #+hpux defuns for %asinh, %acosh, and %atanh because HPUX doesn't have them either, but we want to use them.
Now that +0.0 and -0.0 are no longer eql, fixed atan to deal with them correctly.
Fixed atan to handle zeros better. It still isn't right because the compiler thinks that +0.0d0 and -0.0d0 are similar as a constant.
Move ISQRT to numbers.lisp
Merged new-alien changes onto trunk.
Mods for new aliens.
Fixed EXPT to deal with SINGLE-FLOAT x SINGLE-FLOAT arg type combination.
Fixed EXPT to handle double-float x ratio combination.
New file header with RCS header FILE-COMMENT.
Fixed EXPT to correctly return complex results for negative numbers raised to fractional powers.
Made the C callout stubs for the math library routines be inline, since the C call is pretty compact.
Made all the C stubs be exported and maybe-inline. Put the generic functions under (space 0) so that the stubs will be inline expanded. Changed some uses of INTEGER-DECODE-FLOAT to FLOAT-SIGN, since only the sign was being used. Note that EXPT is broken, since (expt -2.0 0.5) should be a complex, not 0.
Wrote the rest of the trigonometric functions and fixed the complex case of several others.
Moved phase, cis, and abs here from numbers. Commented out defconstant of e, because other code uses e as a local. I guess single letter constants are kind of stupid.
