Dear all,



The functions encode_ieee_single()/encode_ieee_double() encode the GCC
internal representation (i.e., REAL_VALUE_TYPE) to the corresponding IEEE
single precision/double precision formats. The constant values in a program
(i.e., float a = 3.14;) will be parsed and then transferred to GCC
REAL_VALUE_TYPE. Later, the REAL_VALUE_TYPE is encoded to IEEE
single/double formats. However, I do not know why we need
decode_ieee_single()/decode_ieee_double()? Which situations or C code
fragments are these decode_ieee_xxx functions used in?

Thank you for your help.
