[Nestedvm] Possible to pass floats in call in NestedVM?

[skinhat skinhat]

I looked at the SQLLite code and looks like they convert floats to 
strings and back. For example in NestedDB.java of SQLLite source its 
got:


    synchronized int bind_double(long stmt, int pos, double v) throws SQLException {
        return bind_text(stmt, pos, Double.toString(v)); // TODO
    }


   synchronized double value_double(Function f, int arg) throws SQLException {
        return Double.parseDouble(value_text(f, arg)); // TODO
    }

I might have to do the same.

I have tried converting the float into raw int bits:
ia[i]=Float.floatToRawIntBits(f);

in runtime.java but just comes out to a huge integer.
  That's probably correct. Floats are stored very differently than ints, and the int version of a float will always look nothing like the float. The only exception I can think of is positive zero looking like an int zero. Negative zero looks completely different.
