Texas Instruments TMS34010 User Manual

D. Floating Point Facility
The TMS3401 0 C floating-point package allows you to perform real number
arithmetic operations from
C. The TMS3401 0 floating-point functions have a
special
C assembly language interlace and, therefore, do not adhere to the C
function calling convention. The TMS3401 0 C compiler performs real number
arithmetic in double precision. The
following operations are included in the
C floating point package:
• Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, negation, increment. and
decrement
for double-precision format
• Comparisons for double precision format
• Conversions
Signed/unsigned integer
to double
Double to signed/unsigned integer
Signed/unsigned integer
to float
Float
to signed/unsigned integer
Float
to double
Double
to float
• Creation of a floating point number in either single- or double-precision
format from
an ASCII string
• Error detection and exception handling.
These operations/conversions
are described on the following pages.
