Thank you very much for your help. I guess I should explain what I want. The
C99 standard defines functions that are IEEE 754 complaint. I'm hoping to
replace QEMU's fmadd implementation (for the PowerPC) with the fma() function.
The fma() function does the exact same thing that fmadd does. I just don't know
where exactly I can access the values being sent to the emulated fmadd
instruction. Would you have a suggestion as to where I can place the fma()
function?
