BloombergLP::bdldfp::DecimalConvertUtil::decimalToDPD

Populate the specified buffer with the Densely Packed Decimal (DPD) representation of the specified decimal value. The DPD representations of Decimal32, Decimal64, and Decimal128 require 4, 8, and 16 bytes respectively. The behavior is undefined unless buffer points to a contiguous sequence of at least sizeof(decimal) bytes. Note that the DPD representation is defined in section 3.5 of IEEE 754-2008.
