Q_GIVAL(3)

fixed-point math functions which manipulate the integer data bits

Part of Q_GIABSVAL(3).

NAME

Q_IRAWMASK, Q_GIRAW, Q_GIABSVAL, Q_GIVAL, Q_SIVAL – fixed-point math functions which manipulate the integer data bits

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/qmath.h>

ITYPE

Q_IRAWMASK(QTYPE q);

ITYPE

Q_GIRAW(QTYPE q);

ITYPE

Q_GIABSVAL(QTYPE q);

ITYPE

Q_GIVAL(QTYPE q);

QTYPE

Q_SIVAL(QTYPE q, ITYPE iv);

DESCRIPTION

Q_IRAWMASK() returns a q-specific bit mask for q's integer data bits.

Q_GIRAW() returns q's raw masked integer data bits.

Q_GIABSVAL() and Q_GIVAL() return the absolute and real values of q's integer data bits respectively.

Q_SIVAL() sets q's integer data bits to the value iv.

All of those functions operate on the following data types: s8q_t, u8q_t, s16q_t, u16q_t, s32q_t, u32q_t, s64q_t, and u64q_t, which are referred to generically as QTYPE. The ITYPE refers to the stdint(7) integer types.

For more details, see qmath(3).

RETURN VALUES

Q_IRAWMASK(), Q_GIRAW(), Q_GIABSVAL() and Q_GIVAL() return their respective values as integers of the same underlying ITYPE as q.

Q_SIVAL() returns the value of q post change.
