I am trying to apply bitwise operations on float, double, and long
double values. I do not believe this is possible natively, so I
created a wrapper class to construct a double value given two
integers, similar to the bit representation of floating point numbers.
However, this is tedious and the decoding/encoding process is not
efficient.
Is there a portable way to apply AND, OR, XOR, >>, and << to doubles?
Thanks in advance.

Note that your first and second paragraph do not agree, the second on talks
only of doubles. There is an IEEE spec on doubles (and, I think, float)
which is reputedly used quite a bit. If you consider that as "portable" you
could restrict yourself to that and maybe get away with calling it portable.
I can't for the life of me imagine why anyone would want to do this. But I
refuse to ask you, it is none of my business and has no bearing on the
answer to the question.

Well, it does, sort of. Because until we know what the
semantics of the operations are supposed to be, it's hard to say
how to best achieve them. What should the result of 1.33 |
3.1419 be? I can't think of anything reasonable.

No. Even if you can assume e.g. a IEEE float/double, using bit-magic
will not be portable as the representation might differ (similarly to
how unsigned ints have different endianness on different compters).

I am not sure about the meaning of ANDm OR and XOR for doubles, but <<
can be interpreted as multiplication by 2.0 , similarly >2 can be
interpreted as multiplication by 0.5. This was the opertations are
consistent with the operatrion for integers. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I can't understand a little thing in bitwise operations.
In PHP and Javascript

In Python and Ruby

In Python and Ruby - it's ok. I understand.

i am facing a problem while detecting floating point operations in my
project, please help me.
i want to find out the places in my C/C++ project where i am doing
floating point operations.
As it is a big project it is not possible to check every line manually,
so is there any other method
to detect floating point operations in my project?

Hi!
I now that I can't do straight forward any bitwise operation on float
(double etc..). But I wondering what is the easiest/best way to do this?
I was thinking if I have float x=1.1111 so I can multiple it by 1000 to
get 11111 and the preform bitwise like <<2 to get 88888 and then divide
by 1000 to go back to float 8.8888. but these seem like "nasty" way to
do it. So maybe some of you have great tips?
Thank you in advance!

Not many people are bit-fiddling these days. One of the main uses of bit
fields is flags, but that's not often done in Python because of keyword
arguments and dicts, which are lot more versatile. Another major use,
talking to hardware, is not something oft done in Python either.
It seems like this occasional usage wouldn't justify having built-in...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
