4.3 Routines for decimal floating point emulation

The software decimal floating point library implements IEEE 754-2008 decimal floating point arithmetic and is only activated on selected targets.

The software decimal floating point library supports either DPD (Densely Packed Decimal) or BID (Binary Integer Decimal) encoding as selected at configure time.

There is also a complete group of higher level functions which correspond directly to comparison operators. They implement the ISO C semantics for floating-point comparisons, taking NaN into account. Pay careful attention to the return values defined for each set. Under the hood, all of these routines are implemented as

  if (__bid_unordXd2 (a, b))
    return E;
  return __bid_cmpXd2 (a, b);

where E is a constant chosen to give the proper behavior for NaN. Thus, the meaning of the return value is different for each set. Do not rely on this implementation; only the semantics documented below are guaranteed.
