al_ftofix(3)                                                      al_ftofix(3)

NAME
       al_ftofix - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              al_fixed al_ftofix(double x);


DESCRIPTION
       Converts a floating point value to fixed point.  Unlike al_itofix(3),
       this function clamps values which could overflow the type conversion,
       setting Allegro's errno to ERANGE in the process if this happens.

       Example:


              al_fixed number;

              number = al_itofix(-40000);
              assert(al_fixfloor(number) == -32768);

              number = al_itofix(64000);
              assert(al_fixfloor(number) == 32767);
              assert(!al_get_errno()); /* This will fail. */


RETURN VALUE
       Returns the value of the floating point value converted to fixed point
       clamping overflows (and setting Allegro's errno).
