Doing a test run with patched version of GDB, i tried "sizeof"-ing the
long double variable on both binaries (one built with -mlong-double-128
and the other with -mlong-double-64).
GDB treats them differently, showing an 8-bytes length for the 64-bit
long double binary and 16-bytes for the 128-bit long double binary.
* 64-bit long doubles
Breakpoint 1, main () at long_double.c:39
39 long_pld(i, ld2, vp1); /* break here, print ld2, then
continue */
(gdb) p sizeof(ld2)
$1 = 8
* 128-bit long doubles
Breakpoint 1, main () at long_double.c:39
39 long_pld(i, ld2, vp1); /* break here, print ld2, then
continue */
(gdb) p sizeof(ld2)
$1 = 16
Somehow GDB seems to handle them in different ways.
Regards,
Luis
