Description

These routines return a complex result of a division on complex numbers.
The complex result is computed as follows:

Let (a,b) represent the complex dividend.
Let (c,d) represent the complex divisor.
Let (r,i) represent the complex quotient.

The results of this computation are as follows:
r = (ac + bd)/(c² + d²) i = (bc - ad)/(c² + d²)
On Alpha and I64 systems, some restrictions apply when linking OTS$DIVC or OTS$DIVCG_R3. See Chapter 1 for more information about these restrictions.

OTS$DIV_PK_LONG

Arguments

packed-decimal-dividend

OpenVMS usage: varying_arg

type: packed decimal string

access: read only

Dividend. The packed-decimal-dividend argument is the address of a packed decimal string that contains the shifted dividend.
Before being passed as input, the packed-decimal-dividend argument is always multiplied by 10^c, where c is defined as follows:
c = 31 - prec(packed-decimal-dividend)
Multiplying packed-decimal-dividend by 10^c makes packed-decimal-dividend a 31-digit number.

Precision of the divisor. The divisor-precision argument is a signed word that contains the precision of the divisor. The high-order bits are filled with zeros.
packed-decimal-quotient

OpenVMS usage: varying_arg

type: packed decimal string

access: write only

mechanism: by reference

Quotient. The packed-decimal-quotient argument is the address of the packed decimal string into which OTS$DIV_PK_LONG writes the quotient.
quotient-precision

OpenVMS usage: word_signed

type: word (signed)

access: read only

mechanism: by value

Additional digits of precision required. The precision-data argument is a signed word that contains the value of the additional digits of precision required.
OTS$DIV_PK_LONG computes the precision-data argument as follows:
precision-data = scale(packed-decimal-quotient) + scale(packed-decimal-divisor) - scale(packed-decimal-dividend) - 31 + prec(packed-decimal-dividend)
scale-data

OpenVMS usage: word_signed

type: word (signed)

access: read only

mechanism: by value

Scale factor of the decimal point. The scale-data argument is a signed word that contains the scale data.
OTS$DIV_PK_LONG defines the scale-data argument as follows:
scale-data = 31 - prec(packed-decimal-divisor)

Description

On VAX systems, before using this routine, you should determine whether it is best to use OTS$DIV_PK_LONG, OTS$DIV_PK_SHORT, or the VAX instruction DIVP. To determine this, you must first calculate b, where b is defined as follows:
b = scale(packed-decimal-quotient) + scale(packed-decimal-divisor) - scale(packed-decimal-dividend) + prec(packed-decimal-dividend)
If b is greater than 31, then OTS$DIV_PK_LONG can be used to perform the division. If b is less than 31, you could use the instruction DIVP instead.
When using this routine on an OpenVMS Alpha system, an I64 system, or on an OpenVMS VAX system and you have determined that you cannot use DIVP, you need to determine whether you should use OTS$DIV_PK_LONG or OTS$DIV_PK_SHORT. To determine this, you must examine the value of scale-data. If scale-data is less than or equal to 1, then you should use OTS$DIV_PK_LONG. If scale-data is greater than 1, you should use OTS$DIV_PK_SHORT instead.

OTS$JUMP_TO_BPV (I64 Only)

The Jump to Bound Procedure Value routine transfers control to a bound procedure.

Format

OTS$JUMP_TO_BPV bound-func-value ,standard-args ,...

RETURNS

None.

Arguments

bound-func-value

OpenVMS usage: quadword address

type: address

access: read only

mechanism: by value in register R1 (GP)

Function value for the procedure being called.
standard-args

type:

access:

Zero or more arguments to be passed to the called routine, passed using standard conventions (including the AI register).

Description

When a procedure value that refers to a bound procedure descriptor is used to make a call, the routine designated in the OTS_ENTRY field (typically OTS$JUMP_TO_BPV) receives control with the GP register pointing to the bound procedure descriptor (instead of a global offset table). This routine performs the following steps:

Load the "real" target entry address into a volatile branch register, for example, B6.
Load the dynamic environment value into the appropriate uplevel-addressing register for the target function, for example, OTS$JUMP_TO_BPV uses R9.
Load the "real" target GP address into the GP register
Transfer control (branch, not call) to the target entry address.

Control arrives at the real target procedure address with both the GP and environment register values established appropriately.
Support routine OTS$JUMP_TO_BPV is included as a standard library routine. The operation of OTS$JUMP_TO_BPV is logically equivalent to the following code:
OTS$JUMP_TO_BPV:: add gp=gp,24 ; Adjust GP to point to entry address ld8 r9=[gp],16 ; Load target entry address mov b6=r9 ld8 r9=[gp],-8 ; Load target environment value ld8 gp=[gp] ; Load target GP br b6 ; Transfer to target
Note that there can be multiple OTS$JUMP_TO_BPV-like support routines, corresponding to different target registers where the environment value should be placed. The code that creates the bound function descriptor is also necessarily compiled by the same compiler that compiles the target procedure, thus can correctly select an appropriate support routine.

Condition Values Returned

None.
