ling and Overflow Behavior</dt><dd>The function is implemented using a 64-bit internal accumulator. The input is represented in 1.15 format. Intermediate multiplication yields a 2.30 format, and this result is added without saturation to a 64-bit accumulator in 34.30 format. With 33 guard bits in the accumulator, there is no risk of overflow, and the full precision of the intermediate multiplication is preserved. Finally, the 34.30 result is truncated to 34.15 format by discarding the lower 15 bits, and the
