Method for target-specific development of fixed-point algorithms employing c++ class definitions

Abstract From the Canadian patent

An automated method for the development of fixed-point algorithms which have been initially implemented as floating-point code which advantageously hides most of the, tedious operations that need to be performed across the various stages of such a conversion, procedure inside the definitions of a set of C++ classes. With the aid of these C++ class, definitions, the fixed-point design process (i.e. the conversion from floating-point code to, equivalent fixed-point code) is substantially simplified. Specifically in , accordance with, the preferred embodiment of the present invention a programmer need only to , include, and/or exclude certain previously defined header files and to change …
