libfixmath is a platform-independent fixed-point math library aimed at developers wanting to perform fast non-integer math on platforms lacking a (or with a low performance) FPU. It offers developers a similar interface to the standard math.h functions for use on Q16.16 fixed-point numbers. libfixmath has no external dependencies other than stdint.h and a compiler which supports 64-bit integer arithmetic (such as GCC). Conditional compilation options exist to remove the requirement for a 64-bit capable compiler as many compilers for microcontrollers and DSPs do not support 64-bit arithmetic.

It has since been used to implement a software 3D graphics library called FGL. ==Q16.16 functions== ==Other functions== ==Performance== For the most intensive function (atan2) benchmark results show the following results: Note: These results were calculated using fixtest with caching optimizations turned off. ==Licensing== libfixmath is released under the MIT License, a permissive free software licence, and is free software. ==See also== Binary scaling Fixed-point arithmetic Floating-point arithmetic List of open-source mathematical libraries Q (number format) ==References== ==External links== Project Page fr_math - Another fixed point math library with variable radix support and tutorials documentation Group Page/Mailing List
