Subject: Floating point types in target descriptions
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2007 12:48:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200704131348.10042.paul@codesourcery.com> (raw)

The patch below adds ieee_single and ieee_double predefined types for use in 
XML target descriptions.  These are needed to describe vector types with 
floating point elements.

I considered using "float"/"double" and/or "float32"/"float64". However the 
former are ambiguous with the "float" register type, and the latter don't 
really tell you want you're getting. If targets need non-ieee types they can 
add them like arm_fpa_ext.

Ok?
