I've looked in libgcc2.c and am unfortunately a bit unsure about how
to get GCC to directly cast an integer value to a float type. For
example, I would like to do something like this:
float __floatsisf(long i)
{
return (float)0x40c00000; /* float value 6.0 */
}
but the cast will of course turn this into some completely different
number. Can someone quickly explain how to do this?
Use a union:
union { float f; unsigned int i; } u;
float __floatsisf(long i)
{
u.i = 0x40c00000;
return u.f;
}
