Package: gcc-4.2 Version: 4.2-20070528-1 Severity: wishlist GCC 4.2 has partial support for decimal floating-point types (DFP):
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Decimal-Float.html But it seems that this is not enabled by default. I think that gcc should be built with --enable-decimal-float to get decimal float support. Even if the API can change, users still have the choice to use decimal floating-point types or not. So, there should be no drawback. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gcc-4.2 depends on: ii binutils 2.17cvs20070426-8 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii cpp-4.2 4.2-20070528-1 The GNU C preprocessor ii gcc-4.2-base 4.2-20070528-1 The GNU Compiler Collection (base ii libc6 2.5-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.2-20070528-1 GCC support library ii libgomp1 4.2-20070528-1 GCC OpenMP (GOMP) support library Versions of packages gcc-4.2 recommends: ii libc6-dev 2.5-9 GNU C Library: Development Librari pn libmudflap0-4.2-dev <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
