I'm going to post long double transition fixes that fix most of the problems
when you switch the long double format as follow-ups to this message. A few of
the fixes to the tests were previously posted, but I've added some comments.
Here are the remaining failures in the C/C++ tests after these patches are
applied:
1) There currently is no converter between Decimal types and IEEE 128-bit
floating point. Tulio has said this is on the list, but it is lower in
priority than the main long double transition code in GLIBC.
2) A few of the tests use GLIBC long double support, and will presumably
work when the GLIBC changes are done.
3) Two nan related tests (gcc.dg/torture/float128-nan.c, and
gcc.target/powerpc/nan128-1.c) fail. I haven't looked into these yet.
4) One test (gcc.target/powerpc/pr70117.c) fails after the long double
code is converted to use __ibm128. The failure is in the isnormal
function. It generates different code for __ibm128 if long double is
IEEE 128-bit than it does for long double using IBM extended double.
As before, I would like to install these in the trunk and back port them to GCC
8.2.
