signbit

Description

The built-in function signbit tests for sign bit. For the forms not dependent on the cl_khr_fp16 extension, the scalar version of the function returns a 1 if the sign bit in the float is set else returns 0. The vector version of the function returns the following for each component in floatn: -1 (i.e. all bits set) if the sign bit in the float is set else returns 0.

For the forms enmabled by the cl_khr_fp16 extension, the function returns a 1 if the sign bit in the half is set else returns 0. The vector version of the function returns the following for each component in halfn: -1 (i.e. all bits set) if the sign bit in the half is set else returns 0.

Notes

If an implementation extends this specification to support IEEE-754 flags or exceptions, then all built-in relational functions shall proceed without raising the invalid floating-point exception when one or more of the operands are NaNs.

The built-in relational functions are extended with cl_khr_fp16 to include versions that take half, and half{2|3|4|8|16} as arguments.

The function returns a 0 if the specified relation is false and a 1 if the specified relation is true for scalar argument types. These functions shall return a 0 if the specified relation is false and a - 1 (i.e. all bits set) if the specified relation is true for vector argument types.
