@title[#:tag "extflonums"]{Extflonums}

@defmodule[racket/extflonum]

An @deftech{extflonum} is an extended-precision (80-bit)
floating-point number. Extflonum arithmetic is supported on
platforms with extended-precision hardware and where the
extflonum implementation does not conflict with normal
double-precision arithmetic (i.e., on x86 and x86_64 platforms when
Racket is compiled to use SSE instructions for floating-point
operations, and on Windows when @as-index{@filepath{longdouble.dll}}
is available).

A extflonum is @bold{not} a @tech{number} in the sense of
@racket[number?]. Only extflonum-specific operations such as 
@racket[extfl+] perform extflonum arithmetic.

A literal extflonum is written like an @tech{inexact number},
but using an explicit @litchar{t} or @litchar{T} exponent marker (see
@secref["parse-extflonum"]). For example, @racket[3.5t0] is an
extflonum. The extflonum values for infinity are 
@as-index{@racket[+inf.t]} and @as-index{@racket[-inf.t]}. The
extflonum value for not-a-number is @as-index{@racket[+nan.t]}.

If @racket[(extflonum-available?)] produces @racket[#f], then all
operations exported by @racketmodname[racket/extflonum] raise
@racket[exn:fail:unsupported], except for @racket[extflonum?],
@racket[extflonum-available?], and @racket[extflvector?] (which always
work). The reader (see @secref["reader"]) always accepts extflonum
input; when extflonum operations are not supported, printing an
extflonum from the reader uses its source notation (as opposed to
normalizing the format).

Two extflonums are @racket[equal?] if @racket[extfl=]
produces @racket[#t] for the extflonums. If extflonums
are not supported in a platform, extflonums are @racket[equal?]
only if they are @racket[eq?].

@defproc[(extflonum? [v any/c]) boolean?]{

Returns @racket[#t] if @racket[v] is an extflonum, @racket[#f]
otherwise.}

@defproc[(extflonum-available?) boolean?]{

Returns @racket[#t] if @tech{extflonum} operations are supported on the
current platform, @racket[#f] otherwise.}
