Hello,
Can someone please clarify the difference between the precision of a mode and
its bytesize?
Also, if you create a CCMODE and ADJUST it's bytesize to 1, then it's currently
impossible to change its precision to 8.
You end up with a bytesize of 1 and a precision of 4*BITS_PER_UNITS which
doesn't sound right.
This is because precision is output in genmodes.c:emit_mode_precision and will
output
tagged_printf ("%u*BITS_PER_UNIT", m->bytesize, m->name);
however at this point in time m->bytesize is still the original size of 4 (for
a CCmode) before the evaluation of ADJUST_BYTESIZE in <target>-modes.def.
Is there a reason for it to be like this?
Cheers,
Paulo Matos
