Ring1_Intrinsic_Fp_getBits

Get the bits of a IEEE754 32 bit floating-point number value.

Ring1_Result
Ring1_Intrinsic_Fp_getBits_suffix
  (
    resultType* result,
    valuetype value
  )

The following table denotes the valid combinations of suffix and type

This function gets the bits of the IEEE754 bit floating-point number value value. Certain value of value are treated diffently than others:

• If value is a not number value, then value is treated as if it was Ring1_Intrinsic_Fp_NoNumber_suffix.
• If value is Ring1_Intrinsic_Fp_NegativeZero_suffix, then value is treated as if it was Ring1_Intrinsic_Fp_PositiveZero_suffix.

Parameter Variables

result

A pointer to a result variable.

value

A value variable.

Post Conditions

If this function fails, then it sets the by-thread status variable.

Below is a list of failure conditions and the status codes indicating them.

Ring1_Status_InvalidArgument

result was NULL.

If this function fails, result is not dereferenced.

If this function succeeds, result is assigned the raw bits of the IEEE754 floating-point value value.

Return Values

Ring1_Result_Success on success, Ring1_Result_Failure on failure.
