The SoftFloat and TestFloat Packages

SoftFloat. SoftFloat is a free, high-quality software implementation of floating-point that conforms to the IEC/IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-point Arithmetic. SoftFloat is written in ISO/ANSI C, and should be compilable with most ISO-conformant C compilers.

TestFloat. TestFloat is a program for testing that an implementation of floating-point conforms to the IEC/IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-point Arithmetic. TestFloat relies on SoftFloat to provide an implementation to compare against.
