avcodec/aac_tablegen: speed up table initialization
This speeds up aac_tablegen to a ludicruous degree (~97%), i.e to the point
where it can be argued that runtime initialization can always be done instead of
hard-coded tables. The only cost is essentially a trivial increase in
the stack size.
Even if one does not care about this, the patch also improves accuracy
as detailed below.
Performance:
Benchmark obtained by looping 10^4 times over ff_aac_tableinit.
Sample benchmark (x86-64, Haswell, GNU/Linux):
old:
1295292 decicycles in ff_aac_tableinit, 512 runs, 0 skips
1275981 decicycles in ff_aac_tableinit, 1024 runs, 0 skips
1272932 decicycles in ff_aac_tableinit, 2048 runs, 0 skips
1262164 decicycles in ff_aac_tableinit, 4096 runs, 0 skips
1256720 decicycles in ff_aac_tableinit, 8192 runs, 0 skips
new:
21112 decicycles in ff_aac_tableinit, 511 runs, 1 skips
21269 decicycles in ff_aac_tableinit, 1023 runs, 1 skips
21352 decicycles in ff_aac_tableinit, 2043 runs, 5 skips
21386 decicycles in ff_aac_tableinit, 4080 runs, 16 skips
21299 decicycles in ff_aac_tableinit, 8173 runs, 19 skips
Accuracy:
The previous code was resulting in needless loss of
accuracy due to the pow being called in succession. As an illustration
of this:
ff_aac_pow34sf_tab[3]
old : 0.000000000007598092294225
new : 0.000000000007598091426864
real: 0.000000000007598091778545
truncated to float
old : 0.000000000007598092294225
new : 0.000000000007598091426864
real: 0.000000000007598091426864
showing that the old value was not correctly rounded. This affects a
large number of elements of the array.
Patch tested with FATE.
