Re: [RFA] Add some VAX floating point formats to floatformat.[ch]


Hi Mark,

+  /* VAX byte order.  */
+  floatformat_vax

I think that having a more descriptive comment for the VAX byte order would be helpful. eg describing the layout of 1.2345678e10 as is done with the other entries in this enum.

Could do that, although it wouldn't be particular useful. VAX is not quite IEEE, so the bytes will be completely different, not just shuffled around.

Ok well then how about the comment containing a quick precis of the VAX format. I am sure that various people will be interested to read it.


Cheers
  Nick
