The Wiki only mentions the C front-end. Is this going to require any
back-end changes? Is there going to be any work done to make this work
well with Ada (which already has decimal floating point), to make
decimal floating-point values be passable between C and Ada functions?


Ada does not have decimal floating-point, you are probably mixing
this up with decimal fixed-point. I do not believe there is any
intent or work on making these data formats compatible between Ada
and C.
