# safeeft

Safe and branchless error-free transformation algorithms for floating point numbers.

Now supports types which impl `num_traits::Float` and size of bits of its significand is odd (Because `Float` does not offer its size).

## Benchmark


With nightly compiler, execute

`$ cargo +nightly bench`

If your CPU has `fma` target-feature,

`$ RUSTFLAGS='-C target-cpu=native' cargo +nightly bench --features use-fma`

If your CPU does not have `fma` and compile and run with this command, `***_fma` will work very slowly due to software emulation of `fma`.

### Sample result


* compiler: rustc 1.23.0-nightly
* CPU: Intel Core i5-4570(Haswell)@3.20GHz
