Hauser 5*9403c583SJens Wiklander2015 October 23 6*9403c583SJens Wiklander 7*9403c583SJens WiklanderBerkeley SoftFloat is a software implementation of binary floating-point 8*9403c583SJens Wiklanderthat conforms to the IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic. SoftFloat 9*9403c583SJens Wiklanderis distributed in the form of C source code. Building the SoftFloat sources 10*9403c583SJens Wiklandergenerates a library file (typically "softfloat.a" or "libsoftfloat.a") 11*9403c583SJens Wiklandercontaining the floating-point subroutines. 12*9403c583SJens Wiklander 13*9403c583SJens WiklanderThe SoftFloat package is documented in the following files in the "doc" 14*9403c583SJens Wiklandersubdirectory: 15*9403c583SJens Wiklander 16*9403c583SJens Wiklander SoftFloat.html Documentation for using the SoftFloat functions. 17*9403c583SJens Wiklander SoftFloat-source.html Documentation for building SoftFloat. 18*9403c583SJens Wiklander SoftFloat-history.html History of the major changes to SoftFloat. 19*9403c583SJens Wiklander 20*9403c583SJens WiklanderOther files in the package comprise the source code for SoftFloat. 21*9403c583SJens Wiklander 22
