SoftFloat SoftFloat is a free, high-quality software implementation of the IEC/IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-point Arithmetic. SoftFloat is completely faithful to the IEEE Standard, while at the same time being relatively fast. All functions dictated by the standard are supported, except for conversions to and from decimal. SoftFloat fully implements the four most common floating-point formats: single precision (32 bits), double precision (64 bits), extended double precision (80 bits), and quadruple precision (128 bits). All required rounding modes, exception flags, and special values are supported. SoftFloat is distributed in the form of ISO/ANSI C source code and should be compilable with any ISO-compliant C compiler.
