FloatingHex (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/FloatingHex ) is a simple package that implement hexadecimal notation for floating point numbers, as described in p57-58 of http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1256. The package provides a quasi-quoter for hexadecimal floats: hf, and a pretty-printer for floats to show them in this notation: showFFloat. (Note that the latter is not 100% compatible with C's %a modifier for printf, but it does render a faithful representation of its input.)Hex-floats are useful as they allow writing floating-point constants without any loss of precision, while remaining human readable. For instance, the float 2 is written as 0x1p1. (With the quasiquoter, the syntax is [hf|0x1p1|].) This representation is to be preferred over decimal rendering where loss of precision can be a problem: Note that not all floating point numbers have a terminating decimal representation as currently required by the Haskell syntax.It would be nice if Haskell itself allowed for such literals in the language specs itself, following the recent changes to other language standards. (Again, see p57-58 of http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1256. for the new C standard.) In the mean time, I hope FloatingHex library will provide a workaround for the numerophilias amongst us.Bug reports and improvements always welcome!Cheers,-Levent.
