Ulrich Weigand 14ad931172 Target FP: Handle interfaces to scripting languages
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.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
