Subject: Add the C99 hex-float assembly syntax to our extension document.
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=003f93f13464b6ec80b89840bbc07102011fa5b4;p=oota-llvm.git

Add the C99 hex-float assembly syntax to our extension document.

As Ben pointed out, GAS doesn't support this syntax so we should give at least
some warning that it might not be portable.
