__float_as_uint

Applicability

Function Usage

Reinterprets the bits of a floating-point number as a unsigned integer, reading the stored bits in unsigned integer format.

Prototype

1

inline unsigned int __float_as_uint(const float x)

Parameters

Returns

Integer value closest to the input floating-point number. Special scenarios are described as follows:

• If x is nan, the return value is 2143289344.
• If x is inf, the return value is 2139095040.
• If x is –inf, the return value is 4286578688.

Restrictions

For SIMT programming, this API is not supported.
