🦊 inari wasm 🕸

inari_wasm is a stripped-down version of the original inari library which is a Rust implementation of interval arithmetic.

The original library uses gmp-mpfr-sys which allows it to specify different floating point rounding policies for calculating the lower and upper bounds of an interval. Unfortunately, web assembly does not support the instructions necessary to change the rounding policy (WebAssembly/design#1384). To use this library in web assembly I had to remove all functions from gmp and replace them with their normal counterparts.

The original library uses SIMD instructions. These are supported in web assembly but I don't know how to use them so they were also replaced.

I modified the library by copying the functions one by one to a new project and modifying them. I included the Interval struct and all of its implementations. For now, I haven't included DecInterval.

This version is less accurate and slower than the original if you don't need to compile for wasm, please use the original library.

Example

let x = const_interval!(0.0, 2.0);
let y = x.sin() + const_interval!(1.0);
println!("{}", y); // [1, 2]
