Joel Brobecker 36d1c68c70 Float parameter passing in funcall on ppc-aix & ppc-lynx178.
Given the following code:

    float global_float = 0.0;

    void
    set_float (float f)
    {
      global_float = f;
    }

GDB incorrectly calls set_float if the set_float function is marked
as prototyped:

    (gdb) call set_float (5.0)
    (gdb) print global_float
    $1 = 2048

What happens, when the function is marked as prototyped, is that
GDB finds that the argument is a float, casts the value given in
the expression to a float, and then gives that float to ppc-aix/
ppc-lynx178's push_dummy_call gdbarch routine. The latter then blindly
copies it as is in the first floating-point register, instead of
making sure that it has the proper format first.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * rs6000-aix-tdep.c (rs6000_push_dummy_call): Convert
        floating point registers to register type before storing
        value.
        * rs6000-lynx178-tdep.c (rs6000_lynx178_push_dummy_call):
        Likewise.

		   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.
