Primitive Type f128

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

A 128-bit floating point type (specifically, the “binary128” type defined in IEEE 754-2008).

This type is very similar to f32 and f64, but has increased precision by using twice as many bits as f64. Please see [the documentation for f32 or Wikipedia on quad-precision values for more information.

Note that no platforms have hardware support for f128 without enabling target specific features, as for all instruction set architectures f128 is considered an optional feature. Only Power ISA (“PowerPC”) and RISCV specify it, and only certain microarchitectures actually implement it. For x86-64 and AArch64, ISA support is not even specified, so it will always be a software implementation significantly slower than f64.

Implementations

impl f128

pub fn powi(self, n: i32) -> f128

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

Raises a number to an integer power.

Using this function is generally faster than using powf. It might have a different sequence of rounding operations than powf, so the results are not guaranteed to agree.

Unspecified precision

The precision of this function is non-deterministic. This means it varies by platform, Rust version, and can even differ within the same execution from one invocation to the next.

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

Returns true if this value is NaN.

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.

#![feature(f128)]

let f = 7.0_f128;
let g = -7.0_f128;

assert!(f.is_sign_positive());
assert!(!g.is_sign_positive());

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.

#![feature(f128)]

let f = 7.0_f128;
let g = -7.0_f128;

assert!(!f.is_sign_negative());
assert!(g.is_sign_negative());

pub fn to_bits(self) -> u128

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

Raw transmutation to u128.

This is currently identical to transmute::<f128, u128>(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.

pub fn from_bits(v: u128) -> f128

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

Raw transmutation from u128.

This is currently identical to transmute::<u128, f128>(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.
