Hello All! Is it possible to build a softfp uClibc for ARM?
For the records, there are three types of floating point supports on ARM: ABI | arithmetics | storage --------+----------------+------------------ hard | instructions | float registers soft | function calls | integer registers softfp | instructions | integer registers Thus, on a CPU with a FPU (VFP, Neon...), softfp takes full advantage of the FPU, while retaining compatibility with legacy softfloat code (eg. in a shared library). So, is it possible to build uClibc using the softfp ABI ? Regards, Yann E. MORIN. -- .-----------------.--------------------.------------------.--------------------. | Yann E.
