Some of it requires a bit more attention than the previous PR.

  • The value stored in B is multiplied by 2 (so that it matches the derivative formula at t=0), which is compensated by not multplying B by two later when it is used.
  • Some code was written as foo * (1 << (16 - SAMPLE_SHIFT) got reformulated as dot2_to_dot16(foo). I didn't do it initially because I wasn't sure whether the doing foo * 1 << bar instead of simply foo << bar was indicative of something that I had missed but I think it makes better sense in the new formulation.
  • I removed the comment saying "we'll iterate t from 0..1 (0-256)". As far as I can tell we aren't manipulating the curve parameter t anywhere. This comment had me puzzled for a while, if it indeed conveys something meaningful I think it needs to be rephrased.

let B = 2 * (edge.control_y - edge.y1);
//C = edge.y1;
e.dy = 2 * (A >> shift) + 2 * B * (1 << (16 - SAMPLE_SHIFT));
e.dy = 2 * (A >> shift) + dot2_to_dot16(B);
