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:
- The SoftFloat functions: http:doc/SoftFloat.html.
- Building SoftFloat: Http:doc/SoftFloat-source.html
- History of the major changes: http:doc/SoftFloat-history.html
Other files in the package comprise the source code for SoftFloat.
