Rust const generic library for minifloats
This crate provides emulation of minifloats up to 16 bits. This is done with
two generic structs, F8 and F16, which take up to 8 and 16 bits
of storage respectively. Many parameters are configurable, including
- Exponent width
- Significand (mantissa) precision
- (
F8-only) Exponent bias - (
F8-only) NaN encodings: IEEE, FN, or FNUZ
Note that there is always a sign bit, so F8<4, 3> already uses up all 8
bits: 1 sign bit, 4 exponent bits, and 3 significand bits.
