Subject: [Caml-list] how to split up a Caml float into its component bytes
Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2001 11:29:09 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20011109112909.A9417@team.ph.inter.net> (raw)
I've been writing a byte compiler for a small language using Objective
Caml, and now am thinking about incorporating floating point support
into the language. I'm wondering how I would convert a floating point
number in OCaml (which I hope I am safe in assuming is IEEE-754) into
its equivalent bytes. I need it to be able to output bytecode
instructions that will load floating point constants into the virtual
machine. In C this is fairly trivial to do; not sure how to do it in
OCaml.
