Implement real literal extension for Ada
Sometimes it is convenient to be able to specify the exact bits of a floating-point literal. For example, you may want to set a floating-point register to a denormalized value, or to a particular NaN. In C, you can do this by combining the "{}" cast with an array literal, like: (gdb) p {double}{0x576488BDD2AE9FFE} $1 = 9.8765449999999996e+112 This patch adds a somewhat similar idea to Ada. It extends the lexer to allow "l" and "f" suffixes in a based literal. The "f" indicates a floating-point literal, and the "l"s control the size of the floating-point type. Note that this differs from Ada's based real literals. I believe those can also be used to control the bits of a floating-point value, but they are a bit more cumbersome to use (simplest is binary but that's also very lengthy). Also, these aren't implemented in GDB. I chose not to allow this extension to work with based integer literals with exponents. That didn't seem very useful.
