Subject: [rfc] Add TYPE_FLOATFORMAT() to `struct type'
Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2001 20:42:00 -0000
Message-id: <3B81D8A8.70603@cygnus.com>

Hello,

Continuing with this floating-point overhall, the attatched adds 
TYPE_FLOATFORMAT() to the floating-point (TYPE_CODE_FLT) `struct type' 
objects.  All the existing builtin FP types are updated.  I even 
discovered and updated ``(gdb) maint print type double''.

Assuming no one says anything about this, I'll check this patch in in a 
few days.

The next steps are:

	o	add builtin types for all those floatformats

	o	update the store_floating() and extract_floating()
		functions make use of TYPE_FLOATFORMAT().

	Andrew

Thanks!  I've taken the liberty of updating it slightly.  Since there is 
now a floatformat_arm_ext_littlebyte_bigword available, I'm able to 
``FIX'' the fixme.  It now uses floatformat_arm_ext_littlebyte_bigword 
when the target is little endian.

I've attached the relevant bit of the patch.
