The last remaing use for DOUBLEST is in the code that interfaces to the
scripting languages (Python and Guile). The problem here is that we
expose interfaces to convert a GDB value to and from native values of
floating-point type in those languages, and those by definition use
the host floating-point format.
While we cannot completely eliminate conversions to/from the host
floating-point format here, we still need to get rid of the uses
of value_as_double / value_from_double, since those will go away.
This patch implements two new target-float.c routine:
- target_float_to_host_double
- target_float_from_host_double
which convert to/from a host "double". Those should only ever be
used where a host "double" is mandated by an external interface.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-11-06 Ulrich Weigand <uweigand@de.ibm.com>
* target-float.c (floatformat_to_host_double): New function.
(floatformat_from_host_double): Likewise.
(target_float_to_host_double): Likewise.
(target_float_from_host_double): Likewise.
* target-float.h (target_float_to_host_double): Add prototype.
(target_float_from_host_double): Likewise.
* guile/scm-value.c: Include "target-float.h".
(gdbscm_value_to_real): Use target_float_to_host_double.
Handle integer source values via value_as_long.
* guile/scm-math.c: Include "target-float.h". Do not include
"doublest.h", "dfp.h", and "expression.h".
(vlscm_convert_typed_number): Use target_float_from_host_double.
(vlscm_convert_number): Likewise.
* python/py-value.c (valpy_float): Use target_float_to_host_double.
(convert_value_from_python): Use target_float_from_host_double.
