The GCC coding style says to use "floating-point" as an adjective rather than "floating point." After enhancing the -Wformat-diag checker to detect this I found a bunch of uses of the latter, such as in:
gcc/c/c-decl.c:10944 gcc/c/c-parser.c:9423, 9446, 9450, etc. gcc/convert.c:418, 422 gcc/cp/call.c:5070 gcc/cp/cvt.c:886 Before I fix them all and adjust the tests, I want to make sure we really want to follow this rule. The C standard uses both interchangeably. With just one exception, the C++ standard uses the hyphenated form. Thanks Martin
