           Summary: Variables used to define non-printable FP constants are
                    externally visible
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: C backend
        AssignedTo: criswell at uiuc.edu
        ReportedBy: criswell at uiuc.edu


When the CBE needs to generate floating point constants that cannot be
represented in C (NaN, Infinity, etc), it creates a hexadecimal value and places
it in a global variable.

Since these global variables are not declared static, they are visible to other
translation units generated by the CBE which may have constants of the same name
with different values.

To fix this, these global constants should be declared static.
