Function floatFractionalBits [src]

Alias for std.math.float.floatFractionalBits

Returns the number of fractional bits in the mantissa of floating point type T.

Prototype

pub inline fn floatFractionalBits(comptime T: type) comptime_int

Parameters

T: type

Source

  pub inline fn floatFractionalBits(comptime T: type) comptime_int {
    comptime assert(@typeInfo(T) == .float);

    // standard IEEE floats have an implicit 0.m or 1.m integer part
    // f80 is special and has an explicitly stored bit in the MSB
    // this function corresponds to `MANT_DIG - 1' from C
