Description

Convert floating point by format.

Syntax

bool convert_floating_by_format( LPVOID lpOutputBuff, LPVOID lpInputBuff, size_t nNumValues, FLOATING_POINT_TYPE nOutputFormatType, FLOATING_POINT_TYPE nInputFormatType )

Parameters

lpOutputBuff: [output] A pointer to the buffer that receives the convert value
lpInputBuff: [input] A pointer to the buffer containing the data to convert
nNumValues: [input] number of floating points
nOutputFormatType: [input] output format type. See FLOATING_POINT_TYPE
nInputFormatType: [input] input format type. See FLOATING_POINT_TYPE

typedef enum
{
	FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_IEEE_FLOAT = 0,   // 32-bit
	FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_IEEE_DOUBLE,      // 64-bit

	FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_VAX_F,            // 32-bit, ~[-2.9E-39, 1.7E+38]
	FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_VAX_D,            // 64-bit, ~[-2.9E-39, 1.7E+38]
	FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_VAX_G,            // 64-bit, ~[-5.6E-309, 0.9E+308]
	// FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_VAX_H,         // 128-bit, NOT supported

	FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_IBM_SHORT,        // 32-bit
	FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_IBM_LONG,         // 64-bit
	FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_IBM_LONG_XPORT,   // 64-bit
} FLOATING_POINT_TYPE;

Return

true on success and false on failure.
