Non-Computational Operations Functions
Many routines in the
libbfp754

Calling interface:
int __binary32_radix(float x);
int __binary64_radix(double x);
This function in this library always returns
2
, as the library is intended for binary floating-point numbers.
totalOrder

Calling interface:
void __binary_defaultMode(void);
defaultMode
sets the rounding-direction attribute to
