This package is not currently in any snapshots. If you're interested in using it, we recommend adding it to Stackage Nightly. Doing so will make builds more reliable, and allow stackage.org to host generated Haddocks.
A series of floating point conformance tests for Haskell.
Currently implemented are:
QTrial, the floating point benchmark described in / IEEE Standard 754 for Binary Floating-Point
Arithmetic by Prof. W. Kahan <http:www.eecs.berkeley.edu~wkahanieee754statusIEEE754.PDF>
This can be run with a simple cabal run qtrial.
FPTest runs a sequence of floating point test vectors generated by IBM's
FPGen Floating-Point Test Generator.
This is done either by interpreting the tests or by translating the tests
into a Haskell HUnit test suite script that can just be executed using
runhaskell.
The IBM test vectors are available from
here.
You will, most likely, want the binary tests unless you have a decimal machine.
Only 32-bit float tests are provided (not 64-bit double ones) although FPTest supports Doubles.
The syntax of the test vectors can be found
here or in Chapter 4
