Re: Mathematical Funktions for H8/300h - double ?

["Giovanni Caterina" <giova@idtech.be>]

Hello,

GCC (or egcs) for h8300(hms) handles both float and double the same 
way : as float.
Check the following example :

float a = 1.0000001;
double b = 1.0000001;

compiles as :

   1              	;	GCC For the Hitachi H8/300
   2              	;	By Hitachi America Ltd and Cygnus 
Support
   3              	;	release F-1
   4              	; -O2
   5              	
   6              		.h8300h
   7              		.file	"math.c"
   8              		.global _a
   9              		.section .data
  10              		.align 1
  11              	_a:
  12 0000 3F800001 		.float 1.00000011920928955078e0
  13              		.global _b
  14              		.align 1
  15              	_b:
  16 0004 3F800001 		.float 1.00000011920928955078e0
  17              		.section .text
  28              		.end


As you can see, a and b are the same and have the same "poor" 
precision.

Regards.
