MapleEvalhf
evaluate an object using hardware floats in external code
EvalhfMapleProc
evaluate a procedure using hardware floats in external code
Calling Sequence
Parameters
Description
Examples
MapleEvalhf(kv, s)
EvalhfMapleProc(kv, fn, n, args)
kv
-
kernel handle of type MKernelVector
s
type ALGEB object
fn
Maple FUNCTION object
n
number of arguments
args
array of n hardware floats
These functions can be used in external code with OpenMaple or define_external.
MapleEvalhf evaluates an expression to a numerical value using the hardware floating-point of the underlying system. This command is equivalent to the Maple function, evalhf.
EvalhfMapleProc evaluates the function, f(args), to a numerical value using evalhf. The n arguments provided are all 64-bit hardware floating-point numbers. The first argument must be inserted at args[1]. For example, to call f(3.14,2.718), set args[1] = 3.14, and args[2] = 2.718. The value at args[0] is not used.
