[PATCH v2 1/6] math.h: Add macros for rounding to the closest value

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add below rounding related macros:

round_closest_up(x, y) : Rounds x to the closest multiple of y where y is a
power of 2, with a preference to round up in case two nearest values are
possible.

round_closest_down(x, y) : Rounds x to the closest multiple of y where y is
a power of 2, with a preference to round down in case two nearest values
are possible.

roundclosest(x, y) : Rounds x to the closest multiple of y, this macro
should generally be used only when y is not multiple of 2 as otherwise
round_closest* macros should be used which are much faster.

Examples:
 * round_closest_up(17, 4) = 16
 * round_closest_up(15, 4) = 16
 * round_closest_up(14, 4) = 16
 * round_closest_down(17, 4) = 16
 * round_closest_down(15, 4) = 16
 * round_closest_down(14, 4) = 12
 * roundclosest(21, 5) = 20
 * roundclosest(19, 5) = 20
 * roundclosest(17, 5) = 15

NOTE: This patch is inspired from the Mentor Graphics IPU driver [1]
which uses similar macro locally and which is updated in further patch
in the series to use this generic macro instead along with other drivers
having similar requirements.
