StrictMath is required to be implemented in pure Java, not in native code;
Where is this peculiar requirement stated? No proper specification would make any such requirement (not to suggest that Java has a proper specification) - most standards have an "as-if" rule: The implementation must behave *as if* it used the specified algorithm or code, but as long as no valid program can tell the difference, the implementation is free to use some other algorithm. -- --Per Bothner address@hidden http://www.bothner.com/per/
