Hauser<br> +2015 February 16 + + +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. |
