8.32.3 Vax Machine Directives
The Vax version of the assembler supports four directives for generating Vax floating point constants. They are described in the table below.
-
.dfloat
-
This expects zero or more flonums, separated by commas, and assembles Vax
d
format 64-bit floating point constants. -
.ffloat
-
This expects zero or more flonums, separated by commas, and assembles Vax
f
format 32-bit floating point constants. -
.gfloat
-
This expects zero or more flonums, separated by commas, and assembles Vax
g
format 64-bit floating point constants. -
.hfloat
- This expects zero or more flonums, separated by commas, and assembles Vax
h
format 128-bit floating point constants.
