Hi, Follows attached the patch for detecting and printing 128-bit long double values on GDB for PPC. This patch was originally written by Pete Carr some time ago. Since its discussion didn't go much further, i've refreshed it to cleanly apply on HEAD. The original message with the patch can be found here: (http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-07/msg00098.html) I've modified some bits and pieces suggested by Mark Kettenis and Daniel Jacobowitz on these mailing list entries. http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-07/msg00103.html http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-07/msg00107.html Comments are welcome. Best regards, Luis
