We used to make a distinction between 'float64'/'float32' types and the 'uint64_t'/'uint32_t' types, requiring special conversion operations to go between them. We've now dropped this distinction as unnecessary, and the 'float*' types remain primarily for documentation purposes when used in places like the function prototypes of TCG helper functions.
This means that there's no need for special gdb_get_float64() and gdb_get_float32() functions to write float64 or float32 values to the GDB protocol buffer; we can just use gdb_get_reg64() and gdb_get_reg32(). Similarly, for reading a value out of the GDB buffer into a float64 or float32 we can use ldq_p() or ldl_p() and need not use ldfq_p() or ldfl_p(). This patchseries drops the use of the gdb_get_float* and ldf* functions from the three targets that were using them, and then removes the now-unused functions from gdbstub.h and bswap.h. thanks -- PMM Peter Maydell (5): target/sh4: Drop use of gdb_get_float32() and ldfl_p() target/m68k: Drop use of gdb_get_float64() and ldfq_p() target/ppc: Drop use of gdb_get_float64() and ldfq_p() gdbstub: Remove unused gdb_get_float32() and gdb_get_float64() bswap.h: Remove unused float-access functions docs/devel/loads-stores.rst | 14 +++----- include/exec/cpu-all.h | 8 ----- include/exec/gdbstub.h | 20 ----------- include/qemu/bswap.h | 60 --------------------------------- target/m68k/helper.c | 5 ++- target/ppc/gdbstub.c | 8 ++--- target/sh4/gdbstub.c | 8 ++--- target/ppc/translate_init.c.inc | 4 +-- 8 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 110 deletions(-) -- 2.20.1
