hmm, it looks to me that there is some communication mismatch between
the target back-end and the front-end. From
gcc/c-cppbuiltin.c:builtin_define_float_constants:
fmt = REAL_MODE_FORMAT (TYPE_MODE (type));
gcc_assert (fmt->b != 10);
gcc_assert (fmt->b != 10);
/* The radix of the exponent representation. */
if (type == float_type_node)
builtin_define_with_int_value ("__FLT_RADIX__", fmt->b);
log10_b = log10_2 * fmt->log2_b;
/* The number of radix digits, p, in the floating-point
significand. */
sprintf (name, "__%s_MANT_DIG__", name_prefix);
builtin_define_with_int_value (name, fmt->p);
So, for some reasons, it looks like TYPE_MODE (long_double_type_node)
does not have the information you would like it to report (106,
instead of 53).
do I understand correctly that -maix64 is supposed to change the
layout for long double?
I think I went down the wrong path. Sorry.
First, -mlong-double-128 is used to get the larger floating point
numbers. Second, the routines like __floattidf, I got confused. If
you look at this as __float xx yy, I thought the xx part ("ti") was
the long double. But its long long. (The df is for double -- tf
would be for long double.)
So, now the libgcc2.h macros make sense. They are changing routines
from regular sized long to long long.
So, at this point, it looks like I just need to make parts of ppc64-
fp.c conditionally compiled. The routines that refer to TFtype
should not be compiled in my case. What I plan to do is use TMODE
(which is defined in fp-bits.h) to accomplish this. It is the same
macro that governs if TFtype gets defined or not.
Thanks all...
