Subject: Re: Java floating-point mess
Date: Thu, 04 Apr 2002 06:11:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020404115615.04DBBF28C0@nile.gnat.com> (raw)

<<The Java front end has a number of places that assume not only that
the host and target floating point formats are identical, but that
both are IEEE.  I've tried to get rid of them, but run afoul of its
not being possible to link real.o into gcjh -- it wants to drag in
most of the back end.

Presumably the complaint is about assuming that the host fpt format is
IEEE, the target fpt format presumably MUST be IEEE, since this is required
by Java, no?
