[LLVMdev] decimal to floating point conversion

[aparna kotha]

Hi all:

I need an instruction that can convert decimal values into floating point
numbers.

i.e. say I have a decimal number 1110794174 (== 42355FBE in hex ) and  (==
45.3435 as a float)

essentially the mantissa and exponent representation needs to be used.


Is there any way of doing  this in llvm?




Thanks and Regards
