Re: VAX floating point formats & tuning GCC for CPU models (was Re: Some more patches for GCC...)



>> [...] NetBSD on VAXen without FPA chips, [...]

I'm probably just exposing my ignorance, here, but, do such things
exist?  The VARM I have (EL-00032-00-decStd32_Jan90) shows F, D, and G
float support as non-optional for "VAX  processors  announced  after
1986"; of the pre-existing processors listed (by implication, an
exhaustive list), all support F-float and most support D-float as well.
This leaves me wondering if this concern about non-FP-supporting VAXen
means there's a later VARM or if this is some non-DEC VAX or what.
