std::float_denorm_style(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to std::float_denorm_style(3) — a page from the C++ Standard Libary manual all about the enum that says whether floating-point types support subnormal values. it’s giving tiny-but-iconic enum energy ✨

✨ Synopsis ✨

this whole vibe is defined in the <limits> header, no cap:

Defined in header <limits>
enum float_denorm_style {

    denorm_indeterminate = -1,
    denorm_absent        = 0,   (deprecated in C++23)
    denorm_present       = 1

};

so the enumeration constants of type std::float_denorm_style indicate support of subnormal values by floating-point types. literally that’s the whole point 💅

🎀 Enumeration constants 🎀

• std::denorm_indeterminate — support of subnormal values cannot be determined 🙈
• std::denorm_absent — the type does not support subnormal values. also bestie, denorm_absent = 0 is deprecated in C++23, so keep that on your radar 🚨
• std::denorm_present — the type allows subnormal values 🦋

🫶 See also 🫶

• has_denorm — identifies the denormalization style used by the floating-point type. it’s tagged [static] (public static member constant) 👑

that’s the whole page, bestie 💖 this one came from cppreference.com, and its version/date stamp is 2024.06.10 — slay, now go flex your floating-point denorm-style knowledge ✨
