Subject: IEEE floating point emulation library?
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 21:31:39 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20000711213139.A339@eecs.harvard.edu> (raw)
For a compiler project I am looking for an IEEE floating point
emulation. I have already checked http://caml.inria.fr/hump.html and
the OCaml link database for such a libray. Does anybody has written
something like this for OCaml?
To answer the obvious question, why not use the built in float data
type: I need access to the representation at the bit level. Some
code that decodes a float value into a bit vector (int32/int64) and
back would be also helpful.
