Detailed Description

Unavailable if @ref POSH_NO_FLOAT "POSH_NO_FLOAT" is defined.  By
default floating point support is enabled, but if you find that
this causes problems or is inconvenient and you're not using
the support, you can define <code><b>POSH_NO_FLOAT</code></b> to disable
POSH's use of any floating point types or operations.

Here are some code examples:

*
*  //read a little-endian float from disk
*  float LoadFloat( FILE *fp )
*  {
*  float      f;
*  posh_u32_t u32;
*
*  fread( &u32, sizeof( u32 ), 1, fp );
*
*  f = POSH_FloatFromLittleBits( u32 );
*
*  return f;
*  }
*
*  //write a little-endian float to disk
*  void WriteFloat( FILE *fp, float f )
*  {
*  posh_u32_t u32;
*
*  u32 = POSH_LittleFloatBits( f );
*
*  fwrite( &u32, sizeof( u32 ), 1, fp );
*  }
*

posh_u32_t POSH_BigFloatBits ( float f)

Extracts raw big-endian bits from a 32-bit floating point value

Parameters

f[in] floating point value

Returns: a big-endian bit representation of f

Definition at line 671 of file posh.cpp.

void POSH_DoubleBits	(	double	d,
		posh_byte_t	dst[8]
	)

Extracts raw, little-endian bit representation from a 64-bit double.

Parameters

d[in]	64-bit double precision value
dst[out]	8-byte storage buffer

Returns: the raw bits used to represent the value 'd', in the form dst[0]=LSB

Definition at line 698 of file posh.cpp.

double POSH_DoubleFromBits ( const posh_byte_t src[8])

Creates a double-precision, 64-bit floating point value from a set if raw, little-endian bits

Parameters

src[in] little-endian byte representation of 64-bit double precision floating point value

Returns: double precision floating point representation of the raw bits

Remarks: No error checking is performed, so there are no guarantees that the result is a valid number, nor is there any check to ensure that src is non-NULL. BE CAREFUL USING THIS.

Definition at line 742 of file posh.cpp.

float POSH_FloatFromBigBits ( posh_u32_t bits)

Creates a floating point number from big-endian bits

Parameters

bits[in] raw floating point bits in big-endian form

Returns: a floating point number based on the given bit representation

Remarks: No error checking is performed, so there are no guarantees that the result is a valid number. BE CAREFUL USING THIS.

Definition at line 809 of file posh.cpp.

float POSH_FloatFromLittleBits ( posh_u32_t bits)

Creates a floating point number from little endian bits

Parameters

bits[in] raw floating point bits in little-endian form

Returns: a floating point number based on the given bit representation

Remarks: No error checking is performed, so there are no guarantees that the result is a valid number. BE CAREFUL USING THIS.

Definition at line 783 of file posh.cpp.

posh_u32_t POSH_LittleFloatBits ( float f)

Extracts raw little-endian bits from a 32-bit floating point value

Parameters
