Double-precision IEEE floating-point arithmetic directive

    Format

      .T_FLOATING  floating-point-number-list

1  –  Parameter

 floating-point-number-list

    A list of IEEE double-precision floating-point constants
    separated by commas.

2  –  Description

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

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.
