. The

bias of the exponent is always set to

2

(WIDTH_

EXP - 1) -

1

, that is,

127

for the single-precision

format and

1023

for the double-precision format.

The value of

WIDTH_EXP

must be

8

for the single-

precision format,

11

for the double-precision

format, and a minimum of

11

for the single-

extended precision format. The value of

WIDTH_

EXP

must be less than the value of

WIDTH_MAN

,

and the sum of

WIDTH_EXP

and

WIDTH_MAN

must

be less than

64

.

WIDTH_MAN

Integer

Yes

Specifies the precision of the mantissa. If this

parameter is not specified, the default is

23

.

When

WIDTH_EXP

is

8

and the floating-point

format is single-precision, the

WIDTH_MAN

value

must be

23

. Otherwise, the value of

WIDTH_MAN

must be a minimum of

31

. The value of

WIDTH_

MAN

must be greater than the value of

WIDTH_EXP

,

and the sum of

WIDTH_EXP

and

WIDTH_MAN

must

be less than

64

.
