NAME
_encodebinary64(), _encodebinary128(), _encodebinary32() - encode binary-encoded decimal data
SYNOPSIS
#define __STDC_WANT_DEC_FP__
#include <math.h>
_Binaryencoding64 _encodebinary64(_Decimal64 x);
_Binaryencoding128 _encodebinary128(_Decimal128 x);
_Binaryencoding32 _encodebinary32(_Decimal32 x);
DESCRIPTION
There are two standard bit-encodings for decimal floating-point data: binary and decimal . Both encod-
ings provide exactly the same data (analogous to big endian and little endian encodings). The HP-UX
decimal floating-point types use the binary encoding.
The
_encodebinary64()
function encodes x as a binary-encoded 64-bit decimal datum.
_encodebinary128()
is a _Decimal128 version of _encodebinary64()
; it takes a
_Decimal128 argument and returns a _Binaryencoding128
result.
_encodebinary32()
is a _Decimal32 version of _encodebinary64(); it takes a _Decimal32
argument and returns a _Binaryencoding32
result.
These math functions are supported for HP-UX 11i Version 3 September 2008 Update and forward.
USAGE
To use any of these functions, compile with the
+decfp option.
Make sure your program defines
__STDC_WANT_DEC_FP__
and then includes <math.h>.
Link in the math library by specifying
-lm or -l:libm.a on the linking command line.
For more information, see the HP-UX floating-point guide for HP Integrity servers at the following site:
http://www.hp.com/go/fp
.
RETURN VALUE
_encodebinary64()
returns x in the binary encoding.
_encodebinary64()
raises no exceptions.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
