Numeric-GLib

Numeric data types for GLib via GCC extensions

Features

• 128 bit integers with int128 and uint128
• float80 and quad-precision float128
• decimal with decimal32, decimal64 and decimal128
• C99 complex, complex80 and complex128
• vectorized operations on supported types
• little and big endian variants with _le and _be suffix

All types are prefixed with numeric_, but can be used as-is by importing the Numeric namespace in Vala.

Usage

In Vala, one can simply add --pkg=numeric-glib-1.0 to include the type definitions and link against the shared library to initialize all the types and transformations.

vala --pkg=numeric-glib-1.0 main.vala

Or via Meson, the numeric_glib dependency can be included in any target.

project('Foo')

glib = dependency('glib-2.0')
gobject = dependency('gobject-2.0')
numeric_glib = dependency('numeric-glib-1.0', fallback: ['numeric-glib', 'numeric_glib_dep'])
numeric_glib_vala = dependency('numeric-glib-1.0', fallback: ['numeric-glib', 'numeric_glib_vala_dep'])

executable('foo', 'foo.c', dependencies: [glib, gobject, numeric_glib])
executable('foo', 'foo.vala', dependencies: [glib, gobject, numeric_glib_vala])
