| 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. | |
