Does Red Hat Developer Toolset GCC compiler provide DPD (Densely Packed Decimal) or BID (Binary Integer Decimal) floating point?
Issue
- Does Red Hat Developer Toolset GCC compiler provide DPD (Densely Packed Decimal) or BID (Binary Integer Decimal) floating point?
- We need to use decimal arithmetic and would like to use the GCC support for decimal float, however this requires the
--enable-decimal-float=dpdoption when GCC itself is built. - Do Red Hat provide builds of GCC with this enabled? Presumably this would also need to be enabled within the
libstdc++library build as well. - Is there support for BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) in the GCC compiler?
Environment
- Red Hat Developer Toolset
- Code with decimal floating point
