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.
