40.1 Overview

MathBase contains many functions from the ANSI C runtime library. This is mostly only useful if you compile plugins for AmigaOS and compatibles and you want to keep the plugin filesize as small as possible by not linking C's math functions to your plugin but accessing the ones provided by Hollywood instead.

On all other systems you can just use the C runtime functions provided by your compiler directly. You should not use the ones from MathBase. They are really just here to optimize AmigaOS plugin sizes.

Please note that you need to check for Hollywood version 11.0 or later before trying to access MathBase. It is not supported by earlier Hollywood versions.
