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:
Other files in the package comprise the source code for SoftFloat.
SoftFloat.htmlDocumentation for using the SoftFloat functions. SoftFloat-source.htmlDocumentation for building SoftFloat. SoftFloat-history.htmlHistory of the major changes to SoftFloat.
