2018 January 20
Berkeley SoftFloat is a software implementation of binary floating-point
that conforms to the IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic. SoftFloat
is distributed in the form of C source code. Building the SoftFloat sources
generates a library file (typically softfloat.a or libsoftfloat.a)
containing the floating-point subroutines.
The SoftFloat package is documented in the following files in the doc
subdirectory:
- SoftFloat.html Documentation for using the SoftFloat functions.
- SoftFloat-source.html Documentation for building SoftFloat.
- SoftFloat-history.html History of the major changes to SoftFloat.
Other files in the package comprise the source code for SoftFloat.
