浮点数对象

type PyFloatObject

这个C类型 PyObject 的子类型代表一个Python浮点数对象。

PyTypeObject PyFloat_Type

Part of the Stable ABI.

这是个属于C类型 PyTypeObject 的代表Python浮点类型的实例。在Python层面的类型 float 是同一个对象。

int PyFloat_Check(PyObject *p)

如果它的参数是一个 PyFloatObject 或者 PyFloatObject 的子类型则返回真值。 此函数总是会成功执行。

int PyFloat_CheckExact(PyObject *p)

如果它的参数是一个 PyFloatObject 但不是 PyFloatObject 的子类型则返回真值。 此函数总是会成功执行。

PyObject *PyFloat_FromString(PyObject *str)

Return value: New reference. Part of the Stable ABI.

根据字符串 str 的值创建一个 PyFloatObject，失败时返回 NULL。

PyObject *PyFloat_FromDouble(double v)

Return value: New reference. Part of the Stable ABI.

根据 v 创建一个 PyFloatObject 对象，失败时返回 NULL。

double PyFloat_AsDouble(PyObject *pyfloat)

Part of the Stable ABI.

Return a C double representation of the contents of pyfloat. If pyfloat is not a Python floating point object but has a __float__() method, this method will first be called to convert pyfloat into a float. If __float__() is not defined then it falls back to __index__(). This method returns -1.0 upon failure, so one should call PyErr_Occurred() to check for errors.

在 3.8 版更改: 如果可用将使用 __index__()。

double PyFloat_AS_DOUBLE(PyObject *pyfloat)

Return a C double representation of the contents of pyfloat, but without error checking.

PyObject *PyFloat_GetInfo(void)

Return value: New reference. Part of the Stable ABI.

返回一个 structseq 实例，其中包含有关 float 的精度、最小值和最大值的信息。 它是头文件 float.h 的一个简单包装。

double PyFloat_GetMax()

Part of the Stable ABI.

Return the maximum representable finite float DBL_MAX as C double.

double PyFloat_GetMin()

Part of the Stable ABI.

Return the minimum normalized positive float DBL_MIN as C double.

Pack and Unpack functions

The pack and unpack functions provide an efficient platform-independent way to store floating-point values as byte strings. The Pack routines produce a bytes string from a C double, and the Unpack routines produce a C double from such a bytes string. The suffix (2, 4 or 8) specifies the number of bytes in the bytes string.

On platforms that appear to use IEEE 754 formats these functions work by copying bits. On other platforms, the 2-byte format is identical to the IEEE 754 binary16 half-precision format, the 4-byte format (32-bit) is identical to the IEEE 754 binary32 single precision format, and the 8-byte format to the IEEE 754 binary64 double precision format, although the packing of INFs and NaNs (if such things exist on the platform) isn’t handled correctly, and attempting to unpack a bytes string containing an IEEE INF or NaN will raise an exception.

On non-IEEE platforms with more precision, or larger dynamic range, than IEEE 754 supports, not all values can be packed; on non-IEEE platforms with less precision, or smaller dynamic range, not all values can be unpacked. What happens in such cases is partly accidental (alas).

Pack functions

The pack routines write 2, 4 or 8 bytes, starting at p. le is an int argument, non-zero if you want the bytes string in little-endian format (exponent last, at p+1, p+3, or p+6 p+7), zero if you want big-endian format (exponent first, at p). The PY_BIG_ENDIAN constant can be used to use the native endian: it is equal to 1 on big endian processor, or 0 on little endian processor.

Return value: 0 if all is OK, -1 if error (and an exception is set, most likely OverflowError).

There are two problems on non-IEEE platforms:

• What this does is undefined if x is a NaN or infinity.

• -0.0 and +0.0 produce the same bytes string.

int PyFloat_Pack2(double x, unsigned char *p, int le)

Pack a C double as the IEEE 754 binary16 half-precision format.

int PyFloat_Pack4(double x, unsigned char *p, int le)

Pack a C double as the IEEE 754 binary32 single precision format.

int PyFloat_Pack8(double x, unsigned char *p, int le)

Pack a C double as the IEEE 754 binary64 double precision format.

Unpack functions

The unpack routines read 2, 4 or 8 bytes, starting at p. le is an int argument, non-zero if the bytes string is in little-endian format (exponent last, at p+1, p+3 or p+6 and p+7), zero if big-endian (exponent first, at p). The PY_BIG_ENDIAN constant can be used to use the native endian: it is equal to 1 on big endian processor, or 0 on little endian processor.

Return value: The unpacked double. On error, this is -1.0 and PyErr_Occurred() is true (and an exception is set, most likely OverflowError).

Note that on a non-IEEE platform this will refuse to unpack a bytes string that represents a NaN or infinity.

double PyFloat_Unpack2(const unsigned char *p, int le)

Unpack the IEEE 754 binary16 half-precision format as a C double.

double PyFloat_Unpack4(const unsigned char *p, int le)

Unpack the IEEE 754 binary32 single precision format as a C double.

double PyFloat_Unpack8(const unsigned char *p, int le)

Unpack the IEEE 754 binary64 double precision format as a C double.
