  [RFC][06/19] Target FP: Use print_floating in tdep code

A few tdep files use target-specific printing routines to output values in
the floating-point registers.  Now that print_floating should do the right
thing for all target FP formats, this shouldn't be necesssary any more
(also, this get rid of more host-FP code).

Specifically, the i387-tdep file uses a special routine to print the
80-bit extended format using 19 digits.  The common print_floating now
uses the correct DECIMAL_DIG value of 21 digits.  This is two digits
more, but those may in some cases make a difference when converting
back to the original value, so it seems better to just use the default.

In addition, both mips-tdep and sh64-tdep use host FP to print
floating-point values.  This patch changes them to print_floating as well.
Again, this may change the output format a bit, but in general it would
appear preferable to use the default print_floating now (this will also
now match how all other FP values are printed).

Bye,
Ulrich


ChangeLog:

	* i387-tdep.c: Do not include "doublest.h".
	(print_i387_value): Remove.
	(print_i387_ext): Use print_floating instead of print_i387_value.

	* mips-tdep.c (mips_print_fp_register): Use print_floating.
	* sh64-tdep.c (sh64_do_fp_register): Likewise.

testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.arch/i386-float.exp: Update for larger number of digits printed.

Hi Ulrich,

 Thank you for your effort in getting this area right, the limitations in 
our FP arithmetic handling really troubled me.

 I pushed your changes 01-06 combined through testing with a couple of 
MIPS/Linux targets, native and crossed (from x86-64), and all have 
consistently regressed in gdb.base/dfp-exprs.exp, e.g.:

 (gdb) p 1.2df
-$1 = 1.2
-(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/dfp-exprs.exp: p 1.2df
+$1 =
+(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/dfp-exprs.exp: p 1.2df
 p -1.2df
-$2 = -1.2
-(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/dfp-exprs.exp: p -1.2df
+$2 =
+(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/dfp-exprs.exp: p -1.2df

i.e. values to be output are missing, numerous across this test case.  No 
other regressions though.

 Also I find the new formatting of `info all-registers' output 
functionally regressed (rather than merely "changed a bit"), e.g.:

- f0:  0x00000000 flt: 0                 dbl: 0
- f1:  0x00000000 flt: 0
- f2:  0xd2f1a9fc flt: -5.18969491e+11   dbl: -0.001
- f3:  0xbf50624d flt: -0.813999951
+ f0:  0x00000000 flt: 0 dbl: 0
+ f1:  0x00000000 flt: 0
+ f2:  0xd2f1a9fc flt: -5.18969491e+11 dbl: -0.001
+ f3:  0xbf50624d flt: -0.813999951

I think we need to get the ability to align output (previously achieved 
with formatters, i.e. "%-17.9g" and "%-24.17g") restored; frankly I find 
the new format unreadable, which makes me consider it unacceptable.

 Let me know if I could help with either issue anyhow.

 NB while striving for FP arithmetic to match target hardware accurately 
we'll have to handle the two opposite qNaN vs sNaN encodings that the MIPS 
architecture now supports, i.e. the original IEEE 754-1985 format with the 
quiet bit being 0 and the recent IEEE 754-2008 format with the quiet bit 
being 1.  This obviously has to be taken into account in calculations, 
according to the hardware mode being active (or the relevant ELF file 
header flag in the binary chosen to debug if not connected to any target), 
and I do hope MPFR can be switched at the run time to do the right thing.

 This can of course be the next step, once we've settled on the base 
implementation -- and I'll take care of the MIPS architecture bits.
