- --= ABSTRACT ===============================================--
- -- This package is a floating mantissa definition of a binary
- -- FLOAT. It was first used on the DEC-10 and the VAX but should work
- -- for any since the parameters are obtained by initial sizing on the
- -- actual hardware. Otherwise the parameters could be set in the spec if
- -- known. This is a preliminary package that defines the properties of
- -- the particular floating point type for which we generate the math
- -- routines.
- --
- -- The constants are those required by the routines described in
- -- "Software Manual for the Elementary Functions" W. Cody and W. Waite,
- -- Prentice-Hall 1980. Actually most are needed only for the test
- -- programs rather than the functions themselves. Most of these could be
- -- in the form of attributes if all the floating types to be considered
- -- were those built into the compiler, but we also want to be able to
- -- support user defined types such as software floating types of greater
- -- precision than the hardware affords, or types defined on one machine
- -- to simulate another.
