Hauser -1998 December 13 - - -SoftFloat is a software implementation of floating-point that conforms to -the IEC/IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic. SoftFloat is -distributed in the form of C source code. Compiling the SoftFloat sources -generates two things: - --- A SoftFloat object file (typically `softfloat.o') containing the complete - set of IEC/IEEE floating-point routines. - --- A `timesoftfloat' program for evaluating the speed of the SoftFloat - routines. (The SoftFloat module is linked into this program.) - -The SoftFloat package is documented in four text files: - - softfloat.txt Documentation for using the SoftFloat functions. - softfloat-source.txt Documentation for compiling SoftFloat. - softfloat-history.txt History of major changes to SoftFloat. - timesoftfloat.txt Documentation for using `timesoftfloat'. - -Other files in the package comprise the source code for SoftFloat. - -Please be aware that some work is involved in porting this software to other -targets. It is not just a matter of getting `make' to complete without -error messages. I would have written the code that way if I could, but -there are fundamental differences between systems that I can't make go away. -You should not attempt to compile SoftFloat without first reading both -`softfloat.txt' and `softfloat-source.txt'. - -At the time of this writing, the most up-to-date information about -SoftFloat and the latest release can be found at the Web page `http:// -HTTP.CS.Berkeley.EDU/~jhauser/arithmetic/SoftFloat.html'. - |
