We don't really provide a way to convert a const_double into a double value. Since the host and target may have different floating point representations, in general, we can not use FP values inside the compiler. Instead, we have REAL_VALUE_TYPE which is an abstracted representation of an FP value.

------------------------ If, for example, I have an FP value 6.789, how does gcc make REAL_VALUE_TYPE of this value?
