Current versions of GCC support switching the format used for "long double" to either IBM double double or IEEE-128. The resulting binary is marked via different setting of the Tag_GNU_Power_ABI_FP GNU attribute. This patch checks this attribute to detect the format of the default "long double" type and sets GDB's notion of the format accordingly. The patch also adds support for the "__ibm128" type, which always uses IBM double double format independent of the format used for "long double". A new test case verifies that all three types, "long double", "__float128", and "__ibm128" are correctly detected in all three compiler settings, the default setting, -mabi=ieeelongdouble, and -mabi=ibmlongdouble. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-11-21 Ulrich Weigand <uweigand@de.ibm.com> * ppc-tdep.h (enum powerpc_long_double_abi): New data type. (struct gdbarch_tdep): New member long_double_abi. * rs6000-tdep.c (rs6000_gdbarch_init): Initialize long_double_abi member of tdep struct based on Tag_GNU_Power_ABI_FP attribute. * ppc-linux-tdep.c (ppc_linux_init_abi): Install long double data format depending on long_double_abi tdep member. (ppc_floatformat_for_type): Handle __ibm128 type. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2017-11-21 Ulrich Weigand <uweigand@de.ibm.com> * gdb.arch/ppc-longdouble.exp: New file. * gdb.arch/ppc-longdouble.c: Likewise.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
