static int64_t signExpBits (int64_t num)
 Computes the bit pattern for the sign and exponent of a double-precision number.
static int numCommonMostSigMantissaBits (int64_t num1, int64_t num2)
 This computes the number of common most-significant bits in the mantissas of two double-precision numbers.
static int64_t zeroLowerBits (int64_t bits, int nBits)
 Zeroes the lower n bits of a bitstring.
static int getBit (int64_t bits, int i)
 Extracts the i'th bit of a bitstring.

Detailed Description

Determines the maximum number of common most-significant bits in the mantissa of one or numbers.

Can be used to compute the double-precision number which is represented by the common bits. If there are no common bits, the number computed is 0.0.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getBit()

int geos::precision::CommonBits::getBit ( int64_t bits,
int i )
static

Extracts the i'th bit of a bitstring.

Parameters
bitsthe bitstring to extract from
ithe bit to extract
Returns
the value of the extracted bit

◆ numCommonMostSigMantissaBits()

int geos::precision::CommonBits::numCommonMostSigMantissaBits ( int64_t num1,
int64_t num2 )
static

This computes the number of common most-significant bits in the mantissas of two double-precision numbers.

It does not count the hidden bit, which is always 1. It does not determine whether the numbers have the same exponent - if they do not, the value computed by this function is meaningless.

Parameters
num1
num2
Returns
the number of common most-significant mantissa bits

◆ signExpBits()

int64_t geos::precision::CommonBits::signExpBits ( int64_t num)
static

Computes the bit pattern for the sign and exponent of a double-precision number.

Parameters
num
Returns
the bit pattern for the sign and exponent

◆ zeroLowerBits()

int64_t geos::precision::CommonBits::zeroLowerBits ( int64_t bits,
int nBits )
static

Zeroes the lower n bits of a bitstring.

Parameters
bitsthe bitstring to alter
nBitsthe number of bits to zero
Returns
the zeroed bitstring
