Clear description of the referenced document:
|
|
|
|
Name:
|
IEEE 754-1985
|
|
Title:
|
IEEE 754 Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic.
|
|
|
2.
|
Status of approval:
|
|
|
This is a IEEE Standard published in 1985.
|
|
3.
|
Justification for the specific reference:
|
|
|
The document is considered stable and provides a complete description of binary floating-point arithmetic. It is not appropriate to include the full text of the IEEE 754. Z.140.8 defines the IDL to TTCN-3 Mapping. In particular the Integer and floating-point types are defined in chapter 8.1.1. of Z140.8 by referring to IEEE 754, thus Industry needs to be informed of where IEEE 754 originated as it was not defined by ISO or ITU-T.
