Re: [Numpy-discussion] A proposal to implement round in C Was: Rookie problems - Why is C-code much faster?

[Bill B. <wb...@gm...>]

There doesn't seem to be any rint() round() or nearestint() defined in MSVC
7.1.  Can't find it in an MSDN search either.  I think that's why a lot of
people in the game biz, at least, use that lrintf function written using
intrinsics that I posted a link to earlier.  I first heard about that on th=
e
gd-algorithms mailing list.
