## Detailed Description

SoftFloat is a software implementation of floating-point calculations according to IEEE 754 standard. All calculations are done in integers, that's why they are machine-independent and bit-exact. This library can be useful in accuracy-critical parts like look-up tables generation, tests, etc. OpenCV contains a subset of SoftFloat partially rewritten to C++.

### Types

There are two basic types: softfloat and softdouble. These types are binary compatible with float and double types respectively and support conversions to/from them. Other types from original SoftFloat library like fp16 or fp128 were thrown away as well as quiet/signaling NaN support, on-the-fly rounding mode switch and exception flags (though exceptions can be implemented in the future).

### Operations

Both types support the following:

- Construction from signed and unsigned 32-bit and 64 integers, float/double or raw binary representation
- Conversions between each other, to float or double and to int using cvRound, cvTrunc, cvFloor, cvCeil or a bunch of saturate_cast functions
- Add, subtract, multiply, divide, remainder, square root, FMA with absolute precision
- Comparison operations
- Explicit sign, exponent and significand manipulation through get/set methods, number state indicators (isInf, isNan, isSubnormal)
- Type-specific constants like eps, minimum/maximum value, best pi approximation, etc.
- min(), max(), abs(), exp(), log() and pow() functions

> The IEEE Standard remainder operation computes the value a - n * b, where n is the integer closest to a / b. If a / b is exactly halfway between two integers, n is the even integer closest to a / b. The IEEE Standard’s remainder operation is always exact and so requires no rounding. Depending on the relative magnitudes of the operands, the remainder functions can take considerably longer to execute than the other SoftFloat functions. This is an inherent characteristic of the remainder operation itself and is not a flaw in the SoftFloat implementation.
