[Bug translation/15483] New: gcc lexes hexadecimal floating-point constants incorrectly

[das at FreeBSD dot ORG]

Below is a demonstration of two bugs.  The first is a lexer bug,
and the second is in real_from_string(), and probably fixable
with the following change to real.c:
<  if (str[0] == '0' && str[1] == 'x')
>  if (str[0] == '0' && (str[1] == 'x' || str[1] == 'X'))

This is a dup of bug 14088 which is fixed for 3.4.0.

Thanks for the quick response.  Please note that 14088 covers only
one of the two problems I pointed out.

Yes but the patch fixed both of them.
