"RISC-V" to "RISCV". (In the names of machines, compilers, targets, etc., hyphens are intended for specifying variations and for forming compound names from multiple such components. While some arbitrariness in the application of this rule is inevitable, clearly RISC-V is not a "V" variation of an existing "RISC" architecture but rather an entirely new architecture.)
Package Overview for Berkeley SoftFloat Release 3
John R. Hauser
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 Documentation for using the SoftFloat functions.
SoftFloat-source.html Documentation for building SoftFloat.
SoftFloat-history.html History of the major changes to SoftFloat.
Other files in the package comprise the source code for SoftFloat.
