查看python模块的math源代码_在python源代码中的哪里定义了math.exp（）？

I want to known how to implement the math.exp() function in python. Where in the Python source code is math.exp() defined?

解决方案

This one is a little tricky.

The math module is implemented in a C module, mathmodule.c. At the end of that file there is a specific Python library structure that defines exp as implemented by math_exp:

static PyMethodDef math_methods[] = {

# ...

{"exp", math_exp, METH_O, math_exp_doc},

but math_exp itself is actually defined via the FUNC1 macro, using the math_1 wrapper function to call the C library exp function with some error handling and type conversion:

FUNC1(exp, exp, 1,

"exp(x)\n\nReturn e raised to the power of x.")

However, the C function implementation itself is entirely platform dependent, and on modern hardware is usually taken care of in hardware. You would have to turn to a software version of the function to find a starting point to implement this in Python.

You could use the fdlibm implementation as such a starting point, perhaps, here is a link to the exp function implementation in C from that library:

or you could refer to this implementation instead:
