potential roadmap: clarifications and feature completeness

Open matu3ba opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

clarifications:

  • write 1. binary fixed point or change to Basic binary fixed point implementation, 2. decimal fixed points planned?
  • negative values: 1. remains unsupported?, 2. sign-magnitude format, 3. two's complement representation
  • hardware support planned or not?

feature completeness:

  • comptime and runtime fns to ensure identical scaling factor of numbers
  • printing fmt docs
  • links to precision docs and/or how to derive them
  • signed + unsigned support
  • wrapping and saturation fns
  • comptime and build steps examples to compute upper/lower bounds (latter used to write a zig file with constants)
