Module ilex::fp

Expand description

Software floating point types.

Manipulating floats in any kind of tool is very complicated. Parsing can be tricky, and floating point hardware is at best untrustworthy from a cross-target reproducibility perspective. This module provides helpers to make those operations just a little bit easier.

Structs§

  • Bf16
    A “brain float”; an IEEE547 32-bit floating point value with a truncated mantissa.
  • Exotic
    Returned by some Digital functions if ilex does not have compiled support for a particular parsing operation; if Exotic is returned, no diagnostics will be emitted (although it almost certainly indicates a bug).
  • Fp16
    An IEEE547-formatted 16-bit floating point value.
  • Fp32
    An IEEE547-formatted 32-bit floating point value.
  • Fp64
    An IEEE547-formatted 64-bit floating point value.
  • Fp128
    An IEEE547-formatted 128-bit floating point value.
  • ParseError
    An error returned by a soft float type’s parsing functions.
