<p><a name="index-PowerPC-architecture-1640"></a>
When <span class="sc">gdb</span> is debugging the PowerPC architecture, it provides a set of
pseudo-registers to enable inspection of 128-bit wide Decimal Floating Point
numbers stored in the floating point registers. These values must be stored
in two consecutive registers, always starting at an even register like
<code>f0</code> or <code>f2</code>.
<p>The pseudo-registers go from <code>$dl0</code> through <code>$dl15</code>, and are formed
by joining the even/odd register pairs <code>f0</code> and <code>f1</code> for <code>$dl0</code>,
<code>f2</code> and <code>f3</code> for <code>$dl1</code> and so on.
<p>For POWER7 processors, <span class="sc">gdb</span> provides a set of pseudo-registers, the 64-bit
wide Extended Floating Point Registers (&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">f32</span></samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">f63</span></samp>&rsquo;).
