| 18 | Berkeley SoftFloat is a software implementation of binary floating-point that
|
|---|
| 19 | conforms to the IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic.
|
|---|
| 20 | SoftFloat is distributed in the form of C source code.
|
|---|
| 21 | Building the SoftFloat sources generates a library file (typically
|
|---|
| 22 | <CODE>softfloat.a</CODE> or <CODE>libsoftfloat.a</CODE>) containing the
|
|---|
| 23 | floating-point subroutines.

| 27 | The SoftFloat package is documented in the following files in the
|
|---|
| 28 | <CODE>doc</CODE> subdirectory:
