14.25.3 Support for _ _fpreg data type on IPF
WDB internally converts __fpreg data type to long double data type to evaluate an
expression or to print the value of the expression. Since long double data type has only
15 bit exponent as opposed to 17 bit exponent of __fpreg, some precision is lost when
the exponent is larger than that can t in 15 bits.
14.25.4 Support for _Complex variables in HP C
HP C on Itanium systems supports a _Complex data type built from any of the floating
point types.
A _Complex number holds a pair of floating point numbers; the first is the “real part”
and the second is the “imaginary part”.
Here are examples of declarations and initializations using _Complex numbers:
float _Complex glob_float_complex;
double _Complex glob_double_complex = 6;
long double _Complex glob_long_double_complex = _Imaginary_I;
__float80 _Complex glob_float80_complex = 8 + 9 * _Imaginary_I;
_Imaginary_I is a keyword which represents the square root of -1.
The debugger has limited support for _Complex variables. No arithmetic operations
are allowed with _Complex numbers. A _Complex number may be cast or assigned
to any numeric data type and vice versa.
A _Complex variable can be initialized with an expression of the form:
A + B * _Imaginary_I
where, A and B are ordinary numeric expressions, perhaps in parentheses.
This is also the format in which the debugger displays a Complex value.
Imaginary values cannot be assigned to variables because there is no imaginary data
type. You can take a normal number and multiply it by an imaginary number and get
another imaginary number. You can take a normal number and add it to an imaginary
number to get a complex number.
Complex numbers cannot be used in arithmetic expressions in the debugger.
For more information of _Complex type, refer to the HP C/ANSI C documentation.
14.25.5 Support for debugging namespaces
This release of HP WDB provides full support for debugging namespaces.
