ANSI C General Decimal Arithmetic Library
|
|
|
|
The decNumber library implements the General Decimal Arithmetic Specification
|
|
in ANSI C. This specification defines a decimal arithmetic which meets the
|
|
requirements of commercial, financial, and human-oriented applications. It also
|
|
matches the decimal arithmetic in the IEEE 754 Standard for Floating Point
|
|
Arithmetic.
|
|
|
|
The library fully implements the specification, and hence supports integer,
|
|
fixed-point, and floating-point decimal numbers directly, including infinite,
|
|
NaN (Not a Number), and subnormal values. Both arbitrary-precision and
|
|
fixed-size representations are supported.
|
|
|
|
Refer to the package's PDF file for more information.

This version is the one used by the SoftDevLabs version of
|
|
Hercules 4.x (Hyperion).
