     [char_align, short_align, int_align, long_align,  
      float_align, double_align, pointer_align, struct_align]  
    struct_align may be -1 for ppc/ibm interpretation  
                        -2 for ppc/gcc interpretation

keyword,  defined at i/ieee.i   line 46  

             native_fix = [short_format, int_format, long_format]  
 
     format = [sizeof(type), order]  
     order = 1 for big-endian (most significant byte first)  
            -1 for little-endian (least significant byte first)  
keyword,  defined at i/ieee.i   line 24  

             native_flim = [big, tiny, eps]  
 
     big is the biggest number  
     tiny is the smallest non-denormal number  
     eps is smallest number such that 1+eps != 1

             native_flt = [float_format, double_format]  
 
     format = [sizeof(type), order, sgn_addr, exp_addr, exp_size,  
               man_addr, man_size, man_norm, exp_bias, denorm]  
     order = 1 for big-endian (most significant byte first)  
            -1 for little-endian (least significant byte first)  
        (interpreted code here does not yet handle VAX middle-endian)  
     addr, size are bit address (from msb), number of bits  
     man_norm is 0 if mantissa 1-bit implied, 1 if 1-bit explicit  
     exp_bias is the exponent field for 1.0  
     denorm is 0 if there are no denormals  
               1 if there are functioning denormals  
               2 if denormals exist but are treated as NaNs
