| |
| 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](http://www.jhauser.us/arithmetic/SoftFloat-3/doc/SoftFloat.html) Documentation for using the SoftFloat functions. |
| * [SoftFloat-source.html](http://www.jhauser.us/arithmetic/SoftFloat-3/doc/SoftFloat-source.html) Documentation for building SoftFloat. |
| * [SoftFloat-history.html](http://www.jhauser.us/arithmetic/SoftFloat-3/doc/SoftFloat-history.html) History of the major changes to SoftFloat. |
| |
| Other files in the package comprise the source code for SoftFloat. |
