This +means that in a cross-compiler the representation of floating point numbers +in the compiled program may be different from that used in the machine +doing the compilation. +</p> +<p>Because different representation systems may offer different amounts of +range and precision, all floating point constants must be represented in +the target machine’s format. Therefore, the cross compiler cannot +safely use the host machine’s floating point arithmetic; it must emulate +the target’s arithmetic. To ensure consistency, GCC always uses +emulation to work with floating point values, even when the host and +target floating point formats are identical. +</p> +<p>The following macros are provided by <samp>real.h</samp> for the compiler to +use. All parts of the compiler which generate or optimize +floating-point calculations must use these macros. They may evaluate +their operands more than once, so operands must not have side effects. +</p> +<dl> +<dt><a name="index-REAL_005fVALUE_005fTYPE"></a>Macro: <strong>REAL_VALUE_TYPE</strong></dt> +<dd><p>The C data type to be used to hold a floating point value in the target +machine’s format.
