This improves accuracy for the bessel function at large arguments, and this in turn
should improve the quality of the Kaiser window. It also improves the
performance of the bessel function and hence build_filter by ~ 20%.
Details are given below.
Algorithm: taken from the Boost project, who have done a detailed
investigation of the accuracy of their method, as compared with e.g the
GNU Scientific Library (GSL):
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/libs/math/doc/sf_and_dist/html/math_toolkit/special/bessel/mbessel.html.
Boost source code (also cited and licensed in the code):
https://searchcode.com/codesearch/view/14918379/.
Accuracy: sample values may be obtained as follows. i0 denotes the old bessel code,
i0_boost the approach here, and i0_real an arbitrary precision result (truncated) from Wolfram Alpha:
type "bessel i0(6.0)" to reproduce. These are evaluation points that occur for
the default kaiser_beta = 9.
Some illustrations:
bessel(8.0)
i0 (8.000000) = 427.564115721804739678191254
i0_boost(8.000000) = 427.564115721804796521610115
i0_real (8.000000) = 427.564115721804785177396791
bessel(6.0)
i0 (6.000000) = 67.234406976477956163762428
i0_boost(6.000000) = 67.234406976477970374617144
i0_real (6.000000) = 67.234406976477975326188025
Reason for accuracy: Main accuracy benefits come at larger bessel arguments, where the
Taylor-Maclaurin method is not that good: 23+ iterations
(at large arguments, since the series is about 0) can cause
significant floating point error accumulation.

A further ~ 5% may be squeezed by enabling -ftree-vectorize. However,
this is a separate issue from this patch.

Kaiser windows inherently don't require beta to be an integer. This was
an arbitrary restriction. Moreover, soxr does not require it, and in
fact often estimates beta to a non-integral value.
Thus, this patch allows greater flexibility for swresample clients.

This results in small differences with the old expression:

This speeds up build_filter by ~ 50%. This gain should be pretty
consistent across all architectures and platforms.
Essentially, this relies on a observation that the filters have some
even/odd symmetry that may be exploited during the construction of the
polyphase filter bank. In particular, phases (scaled to [0, 1]) in [0.5, 1] are
easily derived from [0, 0.5] and expensive reevaluation of function
points are unnecessary. This requires some rather annoying even/odd
bookkeeping as can be seen from the patch.
I vaguely recall from signal processing theory more general symmetries allowing even greater
optimization of the construction. At a high level, "even functions"
correspond to 2, and one can imagine variations. Nevertheless, for the sake
of some generality and because of existing filters, this is all that is
being exploited.
Currently, this patch relies on phase_count being even or (trivially) 1,
though this is not an inherent limitation to the approach. This
assumption is safe as phase_count is 1 << phase_bits, and is hence a
power of two. There is no way for user API to set it to a nontrivial odd
number. This assumption has been placed as an assert in the code.
To repeat, this assumes even symmetry of the filters, which is the most common
way to get generalized linear phase anyway and is true of all currently
supported filters.
As a side note, accuracy should be identical or perhaps slightly better
due to this "forcing" filter symmetries leading to a better phase
characteristic. As before, I can't test this claim easily, though it may
be of interest.
Patch tested with FATE.

Note that lower level optimizations are entirely possible, I focussed on
getting the high level semantics correct. In any case, this should
provide a good foundation.

It is well known that fabs and fabsf are at least as fast and sometimes
faster than the FFABS macro, at least on the gcc+glibc combination.
For instance, see the reference:
http://patchwork.sourceware.org/patch/6735/.
This was a patch to glibc in order to remove their usages of a macro.
The reason essentially boils down to fabs using the __builtin_fabs of
the compiler, while FFABS needs to infer to not use a branch and to
simply change the sign bit. Usually the inference works, but sometimes
it does not. This may be easily checked by looking at the asm.
This also has the added benefit of reducing macro usage, which has
problems with side-effects.
Note that avcodec is not handled here, as it is huge and
most things there are integer arithmetic anyway.
Tested with FATE.

Proper names should be capitalized in all user facing API as far as
possible. The option names themselves have not been changed since:
1. We consistently keep option names in lower case.
2. Changing them would break existing scripts.
3. I suspect that we want to be similar to Sox and its relevant options.
The converse is also true: improper names should not be capitalized
generally.
