BloombergLP::bdldfp::DecimalImpUtil::less

Return true if the specified lhs has a value less than the specified rhs and false otherwise. The value of a Decimal64 object lhs is less than that of an object rhs if the compareQuietLess operation (IEEE-754 defined, non-total ordering comparison) considers the underlying IEEE representation of lhs to be less than of that of rhs. In other words, lhs is less than rhs if:

Synopsis

Declared in <bdldfp_decimalimputil.h>

static
bool
less(
    ValueType32 lhs,
    ValueType32 rhs);

Description

* neither lhs nor rhs are NaN, or * lhs is zero (positive or negative) and rhs is positive, or * rhs is zero (positive or negative) and lhs negative, or * lhs is not positive infinity, or * lhs is negative infinity and rhs is not, or * lhs and rhs both represent a real number and the real number of lhs is less than that of rhs

If either or both operands are signaling NaN, store the value of the macro EDOM into errno and return false. Return true if lhs is less than rhs.
