I fixed this a while ago for ifx, one of the two Intel compilers, in
8d624a9d8050ca96e154215c7858ac5c2d8b0b19.

Apparently I missed that the older ifort Intel compiler actually emits
slightly different debug info again:

0x0000007a:   DW_TAG_base_type
                DW_AT_byte_size	(0x20)
                DW_AT_encoding	(DW_ATE_complex_float)
                DW_AT_name	("COMPLEX(16)")

0x00000081:   DW_TAG_base_type
                DW_AT_byte_size	(0x10)
                DW_AT_encoding	(DW_ATE_float)
                DW_AT_name	("REAL(16)")

This fixes two failures in gdb.fortran/complex.exp with ifort.

Agreed. But can we change anything really?

Felix> Agreed. But can we change anything really?

I suppose ideally what we would need is extra information in the DWARF.

Although... i386_floatformat_for_type is explicitly checking for
len==128.  Is there some other float format matching this on i386?

Perhaps checking the name is unnecessary.

Also perhaps this could be fixed by adding some new gdbarch hook so that
default_floatformat_for_type could handle this case.

thanks,
Tom

As far as I know, the actual x87 FPU supports only an extended-double
format with 80 bits and the SSE/AVX units only support double-precision.
default_floatformat_for_type() has an explicit comment about it as well.

When examining memory for this Fortran test, I see 128-bit values in
binary128 format, so I assume that this is just a software/compiler feature. 
There is also decimal128 support in e.g. gcc.  I tried it only briefly,
we don't end up in i386_floatformat_for_type for those types, but
GDB prints them just fine.  I assume as they are marked as
DW_ATE_decimal_float instead of DW_ATE_float, but I didn't look into 
it in detail.

I am not aware of any other float types that exist with this length.

I wonder, then, if this patch would work?
This way we would not have to curate a list of names.

I tested this quickly and see some regressions in gdb.base/complex-.parts.exp,
gdb.base/bfp-test.exp and gdb.base/structs.exp (and a handful of others) on x86,
with multiple compilers. Also gcc on Fedora 37 and Ubuntu 22.04.

I didn't have the time to dig too deep. It seems like we return ieee_quad for
some cases where we shouldn’t.

(gdb) bt 5

This seems to pass 128 bits for long double, where your patch did expect 80 bits.
The 80 bit length for x86 is only handled in arch-utils.c:default_floatformat_for_type.
I wonder if that could be streamlined a bit, not having to call gdbarch functions twice
to figure out the format.

I don't know why GDB passes 128 bit from the dwarf reader. I was debugging
complex-parts only. In dwarf, we see the type having 256 bits. So maybe GDB splits
it to 128 bit, as it is a complex?
