sa_fxsub_byte.c Contains fixed-point subtraction functions for byte

data type.

sa_fxsub_short.c Contains fixed-point subtraction functions for

short data type.

sa_fxsub_long.c Contains fixed-point subtraction functions for

long data type.

sa_fxmul_byte.c Contains fixed-point multiplication functions for

byte data type.

sa_fxmul_short.c Contains fixed-point multiplication functions for

short data type.

sa_fxmul_long.c Contains fixed-point multiplication functions for

long data type.

sa_fxdiv_byte.c Contains fixed-point division functions for byte

data type.

sa_fxdiv_short.c Contains fixed-point division functions for short

data type.

sa_fx_f.c Contains fixed-point conversion functions with

overflow protection.

sa_fxp_f.c Contains fixed-point conversion functions without

overflow protection.

sa_fxm_f.c Contains fixed-point algebraic functions without

overflow protection.

sa_fxdiv_long.c Contains fixed-point division functions for long

data type.

sa_fx_externs.c Contains definitions for extern variables such as

mask buffers that are read only.

These stand-alone files have naming conventions based on the functionality

of the macros and whether or not the macros support overflow protection.

Refer to the Overflow Protection section. For example, the sa_fxm.h file

contains macros performing arithmetic functions that do not have overflow

protection, but file sa_fxmp.h contains macros with overflow protection

that perform similar functions. There only is one file (sa_fxr.h) for

relational macros as overflow protection is not a concern for macros

implementing relational operations.
