It's a bit of a newbie question, but I've been wondering if you can intermix hard float VFPv3-D16 code with VFPv3-D32 code. You can as:
According to the ABI: * d0-d15 are used for floating point parameters, no matter if you are D16 or D32 * d0-d15 are not preserved across function calls * d16-d31 must be preserved across function calls The scenarios are: A D32 function calls a D16 function: * The first 16 (!) parameters are passed in D0-D15 * Any remaining are passed on the stack * The D16 function doesn't know about D16-D31, doesn't use them, and hence preserves them A D16 function calls a D32 function: * The first 16 parameters are passed in D0-D15 * Any remaining are passed on the stack * The D32 function preserves any of the D16-D31 registers that it uses. Redundant, but fine. A D32 function (A) calls a D16 function (B) which calls a D32 function (C): * Parameters are OK, as above * B doesn't use D16-D31 and hence preserves them * C preserves any of the D16-D31 that it uses, which preserves them from A's point of view -- Michael _______________________________________________ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
