I just realized one feature request existed about this tool and have
added a comment to it referring this pr. Errors and additions are
described in the fork commit already. I'm not sure if I should repeat
them here again. I have tested the changes thoroughly, but it is always
possible some fringe case was not tested and is incorrect. The tests
were done using the many similar online calculators for IEEE 754
floating point formats.
IEEE 745 floating point tool redesign modeled after 'float toy' web app
(http://evanw.github.io/float-toy/)
Streamlined output using colors and compact layout which can be further
simplified.
Chosen display mode (detailed or simplified) is automatically saved and
set on new sessions.
Edit the binary bits, the integer hexadecimal or the floating point
decimal values and the entire app will update with the change.
Supports the main IEEE745 standard formats (half, single and double
precision) together with custom formats of size <= 64 bits.
Each format choice uses and displays the number of significant decimal
digits defined by the mantissa size.
Added labels to identify the location of each bit box inside the binary
representation.
Satisfies round trip / idempotent (reproducing) conversion property
Added theme colors, radio buttons for display mode and a clear button
that resets the tool.
Removed previously and incorrectly added locale translation to various
labels and languages
Attempted to adhere to code style formatting using existing code as
example.
An effort was made to use preferred variable types and functions from
std namespace when appropriate.
Attempted to document code using comments.
Not implemented / left to complete at an later time
Arbitrary width and precision formats.
Extended precision formats.
Shortest string property.
hexadecimal floating point display and conversions.
This PR does two correlated things:
- Show a generic error message (Failed to open provider) rather than a
file-specific message (Failed to open file) when a provider fails to
open
- Set the error to something more specific when opening a file fails
This PR handles errors that NFD might encounter (both in Init() and the
other method to open the dialog), and log them in the logs and in the
GUI
This (among other) fix the crash I had running ImHex as root and opening
a file
PR title is self explaining
I may modify other providers implementations to display a detailed error
message later
I'm not sure how to deal with other locales because the format changed.
Before, I had to add and comment the key in all locale files, now I'm
not so sure.
