Printing floating point number in decimal is inconvenient for humans.
Verbose asm output will print out floating point values in comments, it
helps.
But in lots of cases, users still need additional work to covert the
decimal back to hex or binary to check the bit patterns,
especially when there are small precision difference.
Hexadecimal form is one of the supported form in LLVM IR, and easier for
debugging.
This patch try to print all FP constant in hex form instead.

Currently, vectors of halfs end up as ConstantVectors, but there isn't
a good reason they can't be ConstantDataVectors. This should save some
memory.

The PowerPC 128-bit long double data type (ppcf128 in LLVM) is in fact a
pair of two doubles, where one is considered the "high" or
more-significant part, and the other is considered the "low" or
less-significant part. When a ppcf128 value is stored in memory or a
register pair, the high part always comes first, i.e. at the lower
memory address or in the lower-numbered register, and the low part
always comes second. This is true both on big-endian and little-endian
PowerPC systems. (Similar to how with a complex number, the real part
always comes first and the imaginary part second, no matter the byte
order of the system.)
This was implemented incorrectly for little-endian systems in LLVM.
This commit fixes three related issues:
- When printing an immediate ppcf128 constant to assembler output
in emitGlobalConstantFP, emit the high part first on both big-
and little-endian systems.
- When lowering a ppcf128 type to a pair of f64 types in SelectionDAG
(which is used e.g. when generating code to load an argument into a
register pair), use correct low/high part ordering on little-endian
systems.
- In a related issue, because lowering ppcf128 into a pair of f64 must
operate differently from lowering an int128 into a pair of i64,
bitcasts between ppcf128 and int128 must not be optimized away by the
DAG combiner on little-endian systems, but must effect a word-swap.
