Subject: writing to a floating point register ?
Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2003 11:17:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030205101753.GA1466@iliana> (raw)

Hello, ...

while writing a fbdev driver, i need to write a value to a floating
point register. Do we have any macro doing this, or should i need to
calculate the sign, mantissa and exponent by hand ?

Just doing a unsigned int cast would round the value i think, and thus
not give the right result.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
