G_floating-point storage directive

    Format

      .G_FLOATING  floating-point-number-list

1  –  Parameter

 floating-point-number-list

    A comma-separated list of one or more floating-point constants.
    The constants cannot contain any operators except unary plus or
    unary minus.

2  –  Description

    .G_FLOATING evaluates the specified floating-point constants and
    stores the results in the object module. .G_FLOATING generates
    64-bit data (1 bit of sign, 11 bits of exponent, and 52 bits of
    fraction). See the description of .D_FLOATING for information
    on storing double-precision floating-point constants and the
    descriptions of .F_FLOATING, S_FLOATING, and T_FLOATING for
    descriptions of other floating-point constants.

3  –  Notes

    o  You can only use this directive within data or mixed psects
       (psects that have either the NOEXE or MIX attributes).

    o  If automatic data alignment is enabled, this directive aligns
       the current location counter to a quadword (64-bit) boundary
       before allocating storage.
