This would work, as well.  Changing the coefficient order to match the
previous code (sorry I bollixed that up before).  a4 and a3 are simple
ratios of a5, but keeping a2 as explicitly the fourth coefficient...
dropping a0, aminusd, and cminusb:



a5 = a - d + 3.0f * (c - b);
a2 = 0.5f * (c + a) - b;
a1 = 0.5f * (c - a);

*out++ = ((((a5*frac-2.5f*a5)*frac+1.5*a5)*frac+a2)*frac+a1)*frac+b;




I count 11 adds and 10 multiplies, vs. 9 +'s and 7 *'s in the original
Lagrange algorithm in Pd, and 10 +'s and 9 *'s in the "third order
Hermite" example.  I don't know if it's as simple as all that, though,
but it would seem to be on at least a similar order of performance.
BTW, the following for the C1 interpolation might be slightly more
efficient (I left the original line commented out):




a1 = 0.5f * (c - a);
/* a2 = a - 2.5 * b + 2.f * c - 0.5f * d; */
a3 = 0.5f * (d - a) + 1.5f * (b - c);
a2 = a - b + a1 - a3;

*out++ =  ((a3 * frac + a2) * frac + a1) * frac + b;

.


10 +'s 6 *'s
