Subject: [musl] Posits support under Musl libc?
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2020 12:42:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3a5f-5ef9c580-33-213e2940@106506192> (raw)

Hello,

Can the "musl" libc project consider supporting the Posit number format in the math routines?

More details;
https://posithub.org/docs/Posits4.pdf
https://posithub.org/docs/BeatingFloatingPoint.pdf

And a sample implementation;

Best regards,

~Mayuresh
