__SOFTFP__ means that instead of floating point instructions,
library calls are being generated for floating point math
operations so that the code will run on a processor without an
FPU.
__VFP_FP__ and __MAVERICK__ are mutually exclusive. If neither is
set, that means the floating point format in use is the old mixed-
endian 45670123 format of the FPA unit.
Note that __VFP_FP__ does /not/ mean that VFP code generation has
been selected. It only speaks of the floating point data format in
use and is normally set when softfloat has been selected. The
correct test for VFP code generation, for example around asm
fragments containing VFP instructions, is
My question is: which variant use FPC
By default, on ARM/EABI FPC uses native-endian IEEE-754, but uses
library calls (to internal code in the RTL) to emulate the floating
point operations. So it's a combination of __VFP_FP__ and __SOFTFP__.
