# Non-Computational Operations Functions

Many routines in the libbfp754 Library are more optimized for Intel® microprocessors than for non-Intel microprocessors.

The Intel® IEEE 754-2008 Binary Conformance Library supports the following functions for non-computational operations:

## is754version1985

Description: The function returns 1, if and only if this programming environment conforms to IEEE Std. 754-1985, otherwise returns 0.

Calling interface:
`int __binary_is754version1985(void);`

### Note

This function in this library always returns 0.

## is754version2008

Description: The function returns 1, if and only if this programming environment conforms to IEEE Std. 754-2008, otherwise returns 0.

Calling interface:
`int __binary_is754version2008(void);`

Description: The function returns 1, if and only if its argument is ±0.

Calling interface:
`int __binary32_isZero(float x);`
`int __binary64_isZero(double x);`

`int __binary32_isInfinite(float x);`
`int __binary64_isInfinite(double x);`

## isNaN

Description:The function returns 1, if and only if its argument is a `NaN.`

Calling interface:
`int __binary32_isNaN(float x);`
`int __binary64_isNaN(double x);`

## isSignaling

Description: The function returns 1, if and only if its argument is a signaling `NaN`.

Calling interface:
`int __binary32_isSignaling(float x);`
`int __binary64_isSignaling(double x);`

## isCanonical

Description: The function returns 1, if and only if its argument is a finite number, `infinity`, or `NaN` that is canonical.

Calling interface:
`int __binary32_isCanonical(float x);`
`int __binary64_isCanonical(double x);`

### Note

This function in this library always returns 1, as only canonical floating-point numbers are expected.

## radix

Description:The function returns the radix of the format of the input floating-point number.

Calling interface:
`int __binary32_radix(float x);`
`int __binary64_radix(double x);`

### Note

This function in this library always returns 2, as the library is intended for binary floating-point numbers.

## totalOrder

Description: The function returns 1 if and only if two floating-point inputs `x` and `y` is total ordered and 0 otherwise.

Calling interface:
`int _binary32_totalOrder(float x, float y);`
`int _binary64_totalOrder(double x, double y);`

## totalOrderMag

Description:`totalOrderMag(x, y)` is the same as `totalOrder(abs(x), abs(y))`.

Calling interface:
`int _binary32_totalOrderMag(float x, float y);`
`int _binary64_totalOrderMag(double x, double y);`

## lowerFlags

Description: The function lowers the flags of the exception group specified by the input.

Value | Exception name
--- | ---
`1` | `__BFP754_INVALID`
`2` | `__BFP754_DIVBYZERO`
`4` | `__BFP754_OVERFLOW`
`8` | `__BFP754_UNDERFLOW`
`16` | `__BFP754_INEXACT`

Calling interface:
`void __binary_lowerFlags(int x);`

## raiseFlags

Description: The function raises the flags of the exception group specified by the input.

Calling interface:
`void __binary_raiseFlags(int x);`

## testFlags

Description: The function returns 1, if and only if any flag of the exception group specified by the input is raised, and 0 otherwise.

Calling interface:
`int __binary_testFlags(int x);`

## testSavedFlags

Description: The function returns 1, if and only if any flag of the exception group specified by the input `y` is raised in `x`, and 0 otherwise.

Calling interface:
`int __binary_testSavedFlags(int x, int y);`

## restoreFlags

Description: The function restores the flags to their states represented in `x`.

Calling interface:
`void __binary_restoreFlags(int x);`

## saveFlags

Description: The function returns a representation of the state of all status flags.

Calling interface:
`int __binary_saveFlags(void);`

## getBinaryRoundingDirection

Description: The function returns an integer representing the rounding direction in use.

Value | Exception name
--- | ---
`0` | `__BFP754_ROUND_TO_NEAREST_EVEN`
`1` | `__BFP754_ROUND_TOWARD_POSITIVE`
`2` | `__BFP754_ROUND_TOWARD_NEGATIVE`
`3` | `__BFP754_ROUND_TOWARD_ZERO`

Calling interface:
`int __binary_getBinaryRoundingDirection(void);`

## setBinaryRoundingDirection

Description: The function sets the rounding direction based on input integer.

Calling interface:
`void __binary_setBinaryRoundingDirection(int x);`

## saveModes

Description: The function saves the values of all dynamic-specifiable modes.

Calling interface:
`int __binary_saveModes(void);`

### Note

`saveModes` behaves in the same way as `getBinaryRoundingDirection` does, as the rounding mode is the only dynamic-specifiable mode supported.

## restoreModes

Description:The function restores the values of all dynamic-specifiable modes to the input.

Calling interface:
`int __binary_restoreModes(void);`

### Note

`restoreModes` behaves in the same way as `setBinaryRoundingDirection` does, as the rounding mode is the only dynamic-specifiable mode supported.

## defaultMode

Description: The function sets the values of all dynamic-specifiable modes to default.

Calling interface:
`void __binary_defaultMode(void);`

### Note

`defaultMode` sets the rounding-direction attribute to `roundTiesToEven`, as the rounding mode is the only dynamic-specifiable mode supported.
