I'm implementing a run-time system for Lisp-like languages in C++, and I
need Common Lisp-compatible transcendental functions: sin, cos, log, etc
for complex arguments. Any suggestions?


Also, does anyone have suggestions for how to treat infinities? My model
is that: +Infinity == +1/0 and -Infinity == -1/0. Is this reasonable? How
about complex numbers? Any references to designs worked out by someone
with a strong math background?


My system contains GNU code, so I need code that is compatible
with the GNU license. (Kcl isn't.)


I will summarize mail.
