ffmpeg | branch: master | Ganesh Ajjanagadde <gajjanagadde at gmail.com> | Sat Nov 14 11:57:28 2015 -0500| [275aca8fba50e77af16627d8d5db4b3d4987d889] | committer: Ganesh Ajjanagadde

configure+libm.h: add hypot emulation

It is known that the naive sqrt(x*x + y*y) approach for computing the
hypotenuse suffers from overflow and accuracy issues, see e.g
http://www.johndcook.com/blog/2010/06/02/whats-so-hard-about-finding-a-hypotenuse/.
This adds hypot support to FFmpeg, a C99 function.

On platforms without hypot, this patch does a reaonable workaround, that
although not as accurate as GNU libm, is readable and does not suffer
from the overflow issue. Improvements can be made separately.
