DoubleBits manipulates Double numbers by using bit manipulation and bit-field extraction.
For some operations (such as determining the exponent) this is more accurate than using mathematical operations (which suffer from round-off error).
The algorithms and constants in this class apply only to IEEE-754 double-precision floating point format.
| int geos::index::quadtree::DoubleBits::numCommonMantissaBits | ( | const DoubleBits & | db | ) | const |
This computes the number of common most-significant bits in the mantissa.
It does not count the hidden bit, which is always 1. It does not determine whether the numbers have the same exponent; if they do not, the value computed by this function is meaningless.
