I am now working on teaching GDB how to call inferior functions with DFP arguments and/or return value on Linux/ppc32 and Linux ppc64, which I will submit shortly. After these patches and Luis' pending (hint, hint! :-) ) patch "PPC - Printing Decimal 128 types out of registers" are commited, I will submit a NEWS entry for the new decimal floating point support in GDB. With the already-incorporated DFP support plus the the patches mentioned above, GDB is be able to: - parse DFP constants; - recognize DFP types from DWARF2 debuginfo; - read and write to DFP variables; - show DFP values with appropriate printf masks; - use DFP values (constants and variables) in expressions; - cast to/from DFP types; - print 128-bit DFP values split in two FP registers (Power6 feature); - call inferior functions with DFP arguments and/or return value. I think that the above completes all needed DFP support in GDB. If anything is missing, please point out and I can work on it. -- []'s Thiago Jung Bauermann Software Engineer IBM Linux Technology Center
