Function Documentation
OSREAL rtxGetMinusInfinity | ( | void | ) |
Returns the IEEE negative infinity value. This is defined as 0xfff0000000000000 in IEEE standard 754. We assume the presence of the IEEE double type, that is, 64-bits of precision.
OSREAL rtxGetMinusZero | ( | void | ) |
Returns the IEEE minus zero value. This is defined as 0x8000000000000000 in IEEE standard 754. We assume the presence of the IEEE double type, that is, 64-bits of precision.
OSREAL rtxGetNaN | ( | void | ) |
Returns the IEEE Not-A-Number (NaN) value. This is defined as 0x7ff8000000000000 in IEEE standard 754. We assume the presence of the IEEE double type, that is, 64-bits of precision.
OSREAL rtxGetPlusInfinity | ( | void | ) |
Returns the IEEE posative infinity value. This is defined as 0x7ff0000000000000 in IEEE standard 754. We assume the presence of the IEEE double type, that is, 64-bits of precision.
OSBOOL rtxIsApproximate | ( | OSREAL | a, | |
OSREAL | b, | |||
OSREAL | delta | |||
) |
A utility function that return TRUE when first number are approximate to second number with given precision.
- Parameters:
-
a The input real value. b The input real value. delta difference must be low than delta * a 1E-7 - set best precision for float; 1E-15 - set best precision for double.
OSBOOL rtxIsApproximateAbs | ( | OSREAL | a, | |
OSREAL | b, | |||
OSREAL | delta | |||
) |
A utility function that return TRUE when first number are approximate to second number with given absolute precision.
- Parameters:
-
a The input real value. b The input real value. delta difference must be low than delta
OSBOOL rtxIsMinusInfinity | ( | OSREAL | value | ) |
A utility function that compares the given input value to the IEEE 754 value for negative infinity.
- Parameters:
-
value The input real value.
OSBOOL rtxIsMinusZero | ( | OSREAL | value | ) |
A utility function that compares the given input value to the IEEE 754 value for minus zero.
- Parameters:
-
value The input real value.
OSBOOL rtxIsNaN | ( | OSREAL | value | ) |
A utility function that compares the given input value to the IEEE 754 value for Not-A-Number (NaN).
- Parameters:
-
value The input real value.
OSBOOL rtxIsPlusInfinity | ( | OSREAL | value | ) |
A utility function that compares the given input value to the IEEE 754 value for positive infinity.
- Parameters:
-
value The input real value.
