BCDtoInternal

Synopsis #

Header: fxcg/misc.h
Syscall index: 0x0160
Function signature: int BCDtoInternal(struct BCDinternal* target, struct BCDvalue* source)

Converts a BCD-coded digit to its special internal representation. Helps saving code when converting a BCD value to a double.

Parameters #

target
Pointer to a struct that will hold the conversion result. The struct is as follows:
struct BCDinternal {
  int exponent;
  int sign;
  int unknown;
  char mantissa[15];
}
  • source - pointer to BCD value to convert. The struct containing it is as follows:

    typedef struct {
      unsigned char hnibble:4;
      unsigned char lnibble:4;
    } BCDbyte;
    
    struct BCDvalue {
      unsigned short exponent:12;
      unsigned short mantissa0:4;
      BCDbyte mantissa[7];
      char flags;
      short info;
    };
    

Returns #

0 on success, -1 on error.
