NAME

       signbit - Test for sign bit.

       int signbit(float );

       intn signbit(floatn );

       int signbit(double );

       longn signbit(doublen );

       int signbit (half)      // if half extension enabled

       shortn signbit (halfn)      // if half extension enabled

DESCRIPTION

       The built-in function signbit tests for sign bit. The scalar version of the function returns a 1 if the
       sign bit in the float is set else returns 0. The vector version of the function returns the following for
       each component in floatn: -1 (i.e. all bits set) if the sign bit in the float is set else returns 0.

NOTES

       If an implementation extends this specification to support IEEE-754 flags or exceptions, then all
       built-in relational functions shall proceed without raising the invalid floating-point exception when one
       or more of the operands are NaNs.

       The built-in relational functions are extended with cl_khr_fp16(3clc) to include appropriate versions of
       functions that take half, and half{2|3|4|8|16} as arguments and return values.

       The function returns a 0 if the specified relation is false and a 1 if the specified relation is true for
       scalar argument types. These functions shall return a 0 if the specified relation is false and a - 1
       (i.e. all bits set) if the specified relation is true for vector argument types.
