Arbitrary Precision Integer Types - 2021.2 English

Arbitrary precision integer data types are defined by ap_int or ap_uint for signed and unsigned integer respectively inside the header file ap_int.h. To use arbitrary precision integer data type:

• Add header file ap_int.h to the source code.
• Change the bit types to ap_int<N> or ap_uint<N>, where N is a bit-size from 1 to 1024.

The following example shows how the header file is added and the two variables are implemented to use 9-bit integer and 10-bit unsigned integer.

#include "ap_int.h" 
ap_int<9> var1 // 9 bit signed integer
ap_uint<10> var2 // 10 bit unsigned integer
