The header <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">cstdfloat</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">></span></code>
|
|
provides <span class="bold"><strong>optional</strong></span> standardized floating-point
|
|
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">typedef</span></code>s having <span class="bold"><strong>specified
|
|
widths</strong></span>. These are useful for writing portable code because they
|
|
should behave identically on all platforms. These <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">typedef</span></code>s
|
|
are the floating-point analog of specified-width integers in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">cstdint</span><span class="special">></span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">stdint</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">h</span></code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">typedef</span></code>s are based on <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2013/n3626.pdf" target="_top">N3626</a>
|
|
proposed for a new C++14 standard header <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">cstdfloat</span><span class="special">></span></code>
|
|
and <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1703.pdf" target="_top">N1703</a>
|
|
proposed for a new C language standard header <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">stdfloat</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">h</span><span class="special">></span></code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">typedef</span></code>s are in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span></code>
|
|
(would be in namespace <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span></code>
|
|
if eventually standardized).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">typedef</span></code>s include <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">float16_t</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">float32_t</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">float64_t</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">float80_t</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">float128_t</span></code>, their corresponding least and
|
|
fast types, and the corresponding maximum-width type. The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">typedef</span></code>s
|
|
are based on underlying built-in types such as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">float</span></code>,
|
|
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span></code>, or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">long</span>
|
|
<span class="keyword">double</span></code>, or the proposed <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2016.pdf" target="_top">N2016
|
|
short float type</a>, or based on other compiler-specific non-standardized
|
|
types such as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">__float128</span></code>. The
|
|
underlying types of these <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">typedef</span></code>s
|
|
must conform with the corresponding specifications of binary16, binary32, binary64,
|
|
and binary128 in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_floating_point" target="_top">IEEE_floating_point</a>
|
|
floating-point format, and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">numeric_limits</span><span class="special"><>::</span><span class="identifier">is_iec559</span>
|
|
<span class="special">==</span> <span class="keyword">true</span></code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The 128-bit floating-point type (of great interest in scientific and numeric
|
|
programming) is not required in the Boost header, and may not be supplied for
|
|
all platforms/compilers, because compiler support for a 128-bit floating-point
|
|
type is not mandated by either the C standard or the C++ standard.
