Nicolas Cellier uploaded a new version of Kernel to project The Trunk:
http://source.squeak.org/trunk/Kernel-nice.1460.mcz
==================== Summary ====================
Name: Kernel-nice.1460
Author: nice
Time: 24 April 2022, 4:40:46.56674 pm
UUID: c06981bc-7eba-4a8e-a388-658d43b49ec8
Ancestors: Kernel-nice.1459
Oups fixup (2 i sqrt), not enough tests...
Sorry for the noise.
=============== Diff against Kernel-nice.1459 ===============
Item was changed:
----- Method: Complex>>sqrt (in category 'mathematical functions') -----
sqrt
+ "Return the square root of the receiver with a positive real part.
+ This is the same as (Complex abs: self abs sqrt arg: self arg / 2).
- "Return the square root of the receiver with a positive imaginary part.
Implementation notes:
the formulation used ensure a protection against floating point overflow/underflow.
it also result in a reasonable precision (around 3 ulp).
It is inspired by following reference, except that it uses pre-scaling rather than eception handling:
Implementing Complex Elementary Function Using Exception Handling
