2020-12-03s390x: derive float_t from compiler or default to floatMarius Hillenbrand-1/+5
float_t should represent the type that is used to evaluate float expressions internally. On s390x, float_t is currently set to double. In contrast, the isa supports single-precision float operations and compilers by default evaluate float in single precision, which violates the C standard (sections 5.2.4.2.2 and 7.12 in C11/C17, to be precise). With -fexcess-precision=standard, gcc evaluates float in double precision, which aligns with the standard yet at the cost of added conversion instructions. gcc-11 will drop the special case to retrofit double precision behavior for -fexcess-precision=standard so that __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ will be 0 on s390x in any scenario. To improve standards compliance and compatibility with future compiler direction, this patch changes the definition of float_t to be derived from the compiler's __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__.
