It does not work:
extern double strtod (const char *, char **);
extern __inline __attribute__ ((__gnu_inline__)) double
atof (const char *__nptr)
{
return strtod (__nptr, (char **) ((void *)0));
}
fails with -mno-sse:
t.c: In function ‘atof’:
t.c:5:1: error: SSE register return with SSE disabled
I don't think we need to support calling atof under these
circumstances (in fact, this is impossible to support because there is
no ABI we could use for the call). But we need to ignore the inline
function definition, like we ignore function declarations. Otherwise
we'll have to patch a lot of headers to support -mno-sse.
Or has this already been fixed differently in GCC 11?
