So I suggest resubmitting / pinging the patch after the GCC 9 branch is created, likely next month.

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43673 --- Comment #5 from Xiong Hu XS Luo --- Ben's reply regarding to testing dfp on other targets: " > I suggest to test it on a platform where dfp is not supported as well, At this stage, the patches on the trunk don't identify any targets as supporting DFP, so powerpc64 is as good as any other. I will double check on x86, though, for good measure. Thanks, "

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43673 --- Comment #4 from Xiong Hu XS Luo --- Hi, Joseph, recently, I summited a quick fix in https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2019-02/msg01949.html for this issue. Actually this was introduced by the initial patch https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-12/msg00330.html committed in 2005. All the decimal floating pointer print function are supported except the Da/DA even it has no much difference with De/Df/Dg/DE/DF/DG, all the value are filled with TEX_* instead of BADLEN for decimal printf table. From consistent view, this patch can fix the issue more easily. But there are questions like Ryan said, the dfp full support requires MACRO __STDC_DEC_FP__ set in DFP library and compiler check, still this mechanism is not implemented yet. Otherwise, it maybe fail on other platforms that don't support DFP. Also, this implementation may need a lot changes to the c front end and libdfp support. What's your suggestion about this? Thanks.

--- Comment #2 from Eric Gallager ---
Confirmed, although for me it also prints an additional error about my target
lacking support for decimal floating point:
$ /usr/local/bin/gcc -Wall -c 43673.c
43673.c: In function ‘main’:
43673.c:7:2: error: decimal floating point not supported for this target
_Decimal64 e = 0.1dd;
^~
43673.c:9:13: warning: use of ‘D’ length modifier with ‘a’ type character has
either no effect or undefined behavior [-Wformat=]
printf ("%Da\n", e);

Arnold rsa at us dot ibm.com 2012-02-07 20:14:38 UTC --- This also warns with %Ha (_Decimal32) and %DDa (_Decimal128). I suspect that the correct way to deal with this is for the compiler to disable this warning (or enable this combination) when __STDC_DEC_FP__ is set, where __STDC_DEC_FP__ indicates BOTH the compiler and library conform to the DFP TR. Currently this define is unavailable due to the inability of the compiler to programmatically determine availability of libdfp at compile time. There is a proposed GLIBC/GCC patch to provide a facility to allow this introduced in the following email: http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2009-04/msg5.html
