Of course, it wouldn't take too much effort to write a program to spew out the tables for each and every possible set of precisions. The generated source files could be then be compiled as normal, and the compiler could dutifully put the values in ROM as desired.
These are just integer calculations. Shouldn't we be able to calculate arbitrarily precise tables at complile-time using meta-programming? I'd probably put the calculations in a separate lib and explictly instantiate them for the types/precision I care about as there would probably a noticeable hit for such complex meta-programming math but I'd rather do that than use an external code generator.
