ieee_d() -- General Function (libc) Convert a double from DECVAX to IEEE format int ieee_d(idp, ddp) double *idp, *ddp; ieee_d() converts a double from DECVAX format to IEEE format. ddp points to a DECVAX-format double to convert. idp points to a destination for the converted IEEE value. idp may be identical to ddp for in-place conversion. The DECVAX significand is truncated, not rounded. ieee_d() always returns zero, because the conversion always succeeds. For a description of the IEEE and DECVAX formats for floating-point numbers, see the Lexicon article for float. See Also decvax_d(), decvax_f(), float, ieee_f(), libc
