From: Sam Moore Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2014 16:33:13 +0000 (+0800) Subject: Change float representations to be more IEEE-ish X-Git-Url: https://git.ucc.asn.au/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=141418468db6f77c6fd6ba625b5d3278f4b57da5;p=ipdf%2Fcode.git Change float representations to be more IEEE-ish Implemented BitsToReal WRONGLY for like 6 hours. It's probably still wrong. It works for 8 bit (2,5) floats but probably only because I got lucky. I am a bit shit at bit shifting. --- diff --git a/src/real.h b/src/real.h index f052696..00eff9c 100644 --- a/src/real.h +++ b/src/real.h @@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ namespace IPDF // Mostly in the testers. inline float Float(float f) {return f;} inline double Float(double f) {return f;} - inline long double Float(long double f) {return f;} + inline double Float(long double f) {return double(f);} } #endif //_REAL_H diff --git a/src/tests/represent.cpp b/src/tests/represent.cpp index 2fb524a..52b8c62 100644 --- a/src/tests/represent.cpp +++ b/src/tests/represent.cpp @@ -3,6 +3,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include using namespace std; using namespace IPDF; @@ -11,6 +12,7 @@ using namespace IPDF; * This "tester" lets us construct Reals out of Floating Points with arbitrary sizes (but must be less than 64 bits currently) * Eventually it will also go the other way * This is originally for conceptual understanding but will ultimately become useful later on. + * Bahahaha */ @@ -26,73 +28,159 @@ long CountBits(long n) } /** - * Converts data represented as an (se, e, m, sm) floating point number to a Real. - * se = sign of exponent (1 bit) - * e = exponent (EMAX bits) - * m = mantissa (PREC bits) - * sm = sign of mantissa (1 bit) - * Total 1+EMAX+PREC+1 must not exceed 64 (at least, for the moment) + * Converts data represented as an (s, e, m) floating point number to a Real. + * Now actually correct for floats bigger than 8 bits! + * Now with 100% less memcpy and 100% more pointer arithmetic! + * Now with IEEE style encodings!
