Primitive Type f16

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (f16 #116909)
Expand description

A 16-bit floating point type (specifically, the “binary16” type defined in IEEE 754-2008).

This type is very similar to f32 but has decreased precision because it uses half as many bits. Please see [the documentation for f32 or Wikipedia on half-precision values for more information.

See also the std::f16::consts module.

Implementations§

source§

impl f16

source

pub const fn is_nan(self) -> bool

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (f16 #116909)

Returns true if this value is NaN.

source

pub fn is_sign_positive(self) -> bool

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (f128 #116909)

Returns true if self has a positive sign, including +0.0, NaNs with positive sign bit and positive infinity. Note that IEEE 754 doesn’t assign any meaning to the sign bit in case of a NaN, and as Rust doesn’t guarantee that the bit pattern of NaNs are conserved over arithmetic operations, the result of is_sign_positive on a NaN might produce an unexpected result in some cases. See explanation of NaN as a special value for more info.

source

pub fn is_sign_negative(self) -> bool

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (f128 #116909)

Returns true if self has a negative sign, including -0.0, NaNs with negative sign bit and negative infinity. Note that IEEE 754 doesn’t assign any meaning to the sign bit in case of a NaN, and as Rust doesn’t guarantee that the bit pattern of NaNs are conserved over arithmetic operations, the result of is_sign_negative on a NaN might produce an unexpected result in some cases. See explanation of NaN as a special value for more info.

source

pub fn to_bits(self) -> u16

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (f16 #116909)

Raw transmutation to u16.

This is currently identical to transmute::<f16, u16>(self) on all platforms.

See from_bits for some discussion of the portability of this operation (there are almost no issues).

Note that this function is distinct from as casting, which attempts to preserve the numeric value, and not the bitwise value.

source

pub fn from_bits(v: u16) -> Self

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (f16 #116909)

Raw transmutation from u16.

This is currently identical to transmute::<u16, f16>(v) on all platforms. It turns out this is incredibly portable, for two reasons:

  • Floats and Ints have the same endianness on all supported platforms.
  • IEEE 754 very precisely specifies the bit layout of floats.

However there is one caveat: prior to the 2008 version of IEEE 754, how to interpret the NaN signaling bit wasn’t actually specified. Most platforms (notably x86 and ARM) picked the interpretation that was ultimately standardized in 2008, but some didn’t (notably MIPS). As a result, all signaling NaNs on MIPS are quiet NaNs on x86, and vice-versa.

Rather than trying to preserve signaling-ness cross-platform, this implementation favors preserving the exact bits. This means that any payloads encoded in NaNs will be preserved even if the result of this method is sent over the network from an x86 machine to a MIPS one.

If the results of this method are only manipulated by the same architecture that produced them, then there is no portability concern.

If the input isn’t NaN, then there is no portability concern.

If you don’t care about signalingness (very likely), then there is no portability concern.

Note that this function is distinct from as casting, which attempts to preserve the numeric value, and not the bitwise value.
