[PATCH]: Promote float args on i386 (attn Hurd, Cygwin, DJGPP...)


Hello, 

From the evidence, it appears that i386-gcc passes floats on the
stack after promoting them to doubles.  At least I've verified this
on Linux, Solaris and Unixware.  This patch fixes five testsuite 
failures by making GDB pass floats as doubles when it calls a 
target function.  I'd appreciate verification / approval from the
maintainers of other x86 platforms such as Hurd, DJGPP, Cygwin, 
BSD etc.  If this change isn't good for some of you, we can
move the #define PUSH_ARGUMENTS into the individual tm.h files.

2000-05-11  Michael Snyder  <msnyder@cleaver.cygnus.com>

	* i386-tdep.c (i386_push_arguments): New function; differs from
	default_push_arguments in that it promotes floats to doubles.
	* valops.c (value_push): Export.
	* value.h (value_push): Declare.
	* config/i386/tm-i386.h (PUSH_ARGUMENTS): Define.
