Message-ID: <1994Sep20.160716.25347@relay.nswc.navy.mil> (raw)
I have a large program written in Ada which currently runs on a 32 bit MIPS machine. I have been requested to move this software to a 64 bit SGI machine. We are running Verdix compilers on both machines. I am having trouble because on the MIPS the float type is 32 bits and the long_float is 64 bits. On the SGI machine the float is 64 bits and the short_float is 32 bits. Is there any way to get this software running without actually changing all the floats to short_floats and the long_floats to floats
in the source code. If anyone has any suggestions, I would like to hear them. Thanks.
Bill Davis
