md_atof is undocumented

["Harshad R Joglekar" <harshad dot joglekar at wipro dot com>]

The function md_atof is required on all targets, but is not documented yet !

I could not find a reply to the following mails,

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2000-04/msg00629.html
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2000-04/msg00630.html

which are reproduced below:

Subject: Missing item from gas/doc/internals.texi

In internals.texi, there is a ``CPU backend'' node that lists functions
and macros that may be defined in the backend files.  It seems to be
missing ``md_atof'', a function called by the core and defined in many
(probably all) backends.

Other than to guess that it's a version of atof() used in the assembly
process, I'm unsure about the function's precise purpose.  Could someone
else document it?

The macro ``DIFF_EXPR_OK'' is in the same boat.

I am not much versed with these, so I cannot document them yet. Would be glad 
if someone does it, at the moment.

thanks,
