#ifndef QCBOR_CONFIG_DISABLE_ENCODE_IEEE754

#include "ieee754.h"
#include <string.h> // For memcpy()


/*
 This code is written for clarity and verifiability, not for size, on
 the assumption that the optimizer will do a good job. The LLVM
 optimizer, -Os, does seem to do the job and the resulting object code
 is smaller from combining code for the many different cases (normal,
 subnormal, infinity, zero...) for the conversions. GCC is no where near
 as good.

 This code has really long lines and is much easier to read because of
 them. Some coding guidelines prefer 80 column lines (can they not afford
 big displays?). It would make this code much worse even to wrap at 120
 columns.

 Dead stripping is also really helpful to get code size down when
 floating-point encoding is not needed. (If this is put in a library
 and linking is against the library, then dead stripping is automatic).

 This code works solely using shifts and masks and thus has no
 dependency on any math libraries. It can even work if the CPU doesn't
 have any floating-point support, though that isn't the most useful
 thing to do.

 The memcpy() dependency is only for CopyFloatToUint32() and friends
 which only is needed to avoid type punning when converting the actual
 float bits to an unsigned value so the bit shifts and masks can work.
