Hi Jakub,
I was in doubt about SoftFloat licence if it is correct to add it
to OpenJDK, so I consulted to Oracle, and answer is that
license (mark down) file should not be in the OpenJDK sources
because library codes are not included in the OpenJDK sources.
So please remove softfloat.md.
Thanks,
Boris

Hmm, the patch still fails. I will have to redo the changes
in the source tree and then reexport the patch. Editing
the patch file manually wasn't a good idea.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have made a mistake when editing the patch (I forgot to change the
added line count in one header).

Hi Boris,
I have updated the patch:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ev3dev-lang-java/openjdk-ev3/0887015e0dfcc45ffed03872a8ad42a609496459/upstream/softfloat.patch
Now reinterpret_cast is used and the URL is present
only in the documentation for enabling flags.
I didn't expect a performance penalty, I have seen
somewhere that compilers are nowadays good in
seeing through this type of operation:
https://blog.regehr.org/archives/959
I tried compiling a similar code (with noinline functions)
on https://godbolt.org/ and on GCC >= 4.6.4 memcpy is
optimized away even on -O0.
However I agree that the reinterpret_cast way is more
readable and conscise.
Thanks,
Jakub

Hi Jakub,
Please see comments inline.
And one more point: please remove links to mail threads from sources
(http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/aarch32-port-dev/2016-November/000611.html).

Hi Jakub,
I do not understand why you use memcpy in softfloat_arm.cpp.
If type cast is the only reason why don't you use reinterpret_cast?

I'm using memcpy there because float32_t is a struct containing a
single uint32_t member. I think that the proper way of doing a byte-
level conversion between different types (type punning) is via memcpy.
Do not you expect performance penalty using type conversion this way?
If I used a casted pointer, this would violate the rule that I can
access a memory location through a pointer of only one type.
-fno-strict-aliasing gcc option is used to disable compiler complains on
this rule:
jdk-jdk/make/hotspot/lib/JvmFeatures.gmk: JVM_LDFLAGS_FEATURES +=
-fno-strict-aliasing
Using
union for this seems to be also undefined in C++, as then I would
access the value through a non-active member.
Thanks,
Jakub

I do think --enable-softfloat is redundant as using any of the
other
parameters would imply it to be set, but it's ok to have it
there.
Thanks for the review. The motivation for this was that I was
closely
following how libffi is handled. The enable option was a workaround
for
the detection of softfloat in system paths. I don't think this is
how
the library is going to be used, so I removed this option.
