Support for decimal +floating types in GCC will evolve as the draft technical report changes. +Calling conventions for any target might also change. Not all targets +support decimal floating types. +</p> +<p>The decimal floating types are <code>_Decimal32</code>, <code>_Decimal64</code>, and +<code>_Decimal128</code>. They use a radix of ten, unlike the floating types +<code>float</code>, <code>double</code>, and <code>long double</code> whose radix is not +specified by the C standard but is usually two. +</p> +<p>Support for decimal floating types includes the arithmetic operators +add, subtract, multiply, divide; unary arithmetic operators; +relational operators; equality operators; and conversions to and from +integer and other floating types. Use a suffix ‘<samp>df</samp>’ or +‘<samp>DF</samp>’ in a literal constant of type <code>_Decimal32</code>, ‘<samp>dd</samp>’ +or ‘<samp>DD</samp>’ for <code>_Decimal64</code>, and ‘<samp>dl</samp>’ or ‘<samp>DL</samp>’ for +<code>_Decimal128</code>. +</p> +<p>GCC support of decimal float as specified by the draft technical report +is incomplete: +</p> +<ul> +<li> When the value of a decimal floating type cannot be represented in the +integer type to which it is being converted, the result is undefined +rather than the result value specified by the draft technical report. + +</li><li> GCC does not provide the C library functionality associated with +<samp>math.h</samp>, <samp>fenv.h</samp>, <samp>stdio.h</samp>, <samp>stdlib.h</samp>, and +<samp>wchar.h</samp>, which must come from a separate C library implementation. +Because of this the GNU C compiler does not define macro +<code>__STDC_DEC_FP__</code> to indicate that the implementation conforms to +the technical report. +</li></ul> + +<p>Types <code>_Decimal32</code>, <code>_Decimal64</code>, and <code>_Decimal128</code> +are supported by the DWARF debug information format. +</p> +<hr> +<div class="header"> +<p> +Next: <a href="Hex-Floats.html#Hex-Floats" accesskey="n" rel="next">Hex Floats</a>, Previous: <a href="Half_002dPrecision.html#Half_002dPrecision" accesskey="p" rel="previous">Half-Precision</a>, Up: <a href="C-Extensions.html#C-Extensions" accesskey="u" rel="up">C Extensions</a> [<a href="index.html#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="Indices.html#Indices" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> +</div> + + + +</body> +</html> |
