Q_SIGNSHFT(3) Library Functions Manual Q_SIGNSHFT(3)

Q_SIGNSHFT, Q_SSIGN, Q_CRAWMASK, Q_SRAWMASK, Q_GCRAW, Q_GCVAL, Q_SCVALfixed-point math functions which manipulate the control/sign data bits

#include <sys/qmath.h>

uint32_t
Q_SIGNSHFT(QTYPE q);

QTYPE
Q_SSIGN(QTYPE q, bool isneg);

ITYPE
Q_CRAWMASK(QTYPE q);

ITYPE
Q_SRAWMASK(QTYPE q);

ITYPE
Q_GCRAW(QTYPE q);

ITYPE
Q_GCVAL(QTYPE q);

QTYPE
Q_SCVAL(QTYPE q, ITYPE cv);

() gets the bit position of q's sign bit relative to bit zero.

() sets the sign bit of q based on the boolean isneg.

() and () return q-specific bit masks for q's control bits and sign bit respectively.

() and () get the raw masked control bits and value of q's control bits respectively.

() sets q's control bits to the value cv.

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).

Q_SIGNSHFT() returns the sign bit's position as an integer.

Q_SSIGN() returns the value of q post change.

Q_CRAWMASK(), Q_SRAWMASK(), Q_GCRAW() and Q_GCVAL() return their respective values as integers of the same underlying ITYPE as q.

Q_SCVAL() returns the value of q post change.
