In some places the documentation refers to "fixed-point" types or values
when talking about plain integer types. Although this is meant to mean
"the opposite of floating-point", it is misleading and can be confused
with the fractional types that are also known as "fixed-point". For the
avoidance of doubt, refer to plain integer types as "integer"
throughout.
Testing done:
`make info` and `make dvi`
gcc/ChangeLog:
* doc/rtl.texi: Replace "fixed-point" with "integer" where
appropriate.
