The std namespace contains a collection of standard definitions for channels, data types, and other components. This can be viewed as ACT's equivalent of the C++ standard template library.

export function max(pint a, b) : pint;

Returns the larger of the two pints.

export function min(pint a, b) : pint;

Returns the smaller of the two pints.

export function ceil_log2 (pint a) : pint;

Computes the smallest power of two that is at least as large as a.

export function pow(pint n, m) : pint;

Computes the quantity n to the power of m. Note that pints use 64-bit representation.
