9.34.3 Vax Machine Directives

The Vax version of the assembler supports four directives for
generating Vax floating point constants. They are described in the
table below.




.dfloatThis expects zero or more flonums, separated by commas, and
assembles Vax d format 64-bit floating point constants.

.ffloatThis expects zero or more flonums, separated by commas, and
assembles Vax f format 32-bit floating point constants.

.gfloatThis expects zero or more flonums, separated by commas, and
assembles Vax g format 64-bit floating point constants.

.hfloatThis expects zero or more flonums, separated by commas, and
assembles Vax h format 128-bit floating point constants.
