Subject: middle-end/7315: DEC floating point support in real.c is broken
Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2002 12:16:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020715191241.16679.qmail@sources.redhat.com> (raw)

>Release:        3.1 branch and 3.2
>Organization:
>Environment:
vax-dec-ultrix4.3
>Description:
DEC floating point constants are incorrectly generated by
the current emulator in real.c.  For example, the complex
value output for [(float)1, (float)0] in 20020227-1.c
is

        .align 2
LC0:
        .long   1065353216
        .long   0

The correct value for the first long is 16512.  It appears
that the IEEE value is being used instead of the DEC value.
>How-To-Repeat:
The problem can be duplicated with a cross compiler
to vax-dec-ultrix4.3.
>Fix:
A proposed fix for the problem on the main is here:
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-06/msg00645.html>.

The best solution for the 3.1 branch may be to revert to not
defining REAL_ARITHMETIC.
