Re: RFC: Slay COERCE_FLOAT_TO_DOUBLE



Daniel's patch keeps the current data structure, which uses 1 bit
to indicate whether the function is prototyped or not.

I prefer to use 2 bits: TYPE_PROTO_KNOWN and TYPE_PROTO_YES.
That allows for three states:

  known=0		gdb does not know if function is prototyped
  known=1, yes=0	function is definitely not prototyped
  known=1, yes=1	function is definitely prototyped

I have written such a 2-bit patch.
To be pedantic :-)  That's an enum with three states:

	prototype unknown
	prototyped
	unprototyped

It can be packed into two bits.

enjoy,
Andrew
