Hello,
I'm looking, for RPC purpose, a simple and fast way to convert IBM floatting
point format number into IEEE format number and vice-versa:
------------------------- ----------------------------
|s| exp | mantissa | <==> | mantissa | exp |s|
------------------------- ----------------------------
fibm fieee
fibm = (-1)**s * (16)**(exp1-64) * mantissa1
fieee = (-1)**s * 2**(exp2-127) * mantissa2
ibm_to_ieee(exp1, mantissa1, &exp2, &mantissa2);
ieee_to_ibm(exp2, mantissa2, &exp1, &mantissa1);
Thanks for your time.
