<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">Admittedly this looks like binary-scaled, not decimal-scaled (I've been following the discussion, but not closely), so it might not be directly helpful to you; I don't remember whether PL/I has binary-scaled
types. However, DWARF supports both binary and decimal scale factors, so the DIBuilder and LLVM debug-info support should permit both.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
