fp_coldfire.a rebuild for register parameter passing

[jjr]

Hi, we're using CW 6.3 and have imported the libray "CodeWarrior for ColdFire V6.3\E68K_Support\Libraries\fp_coldfire.a"  into our project for floating point.Originally the project was built

using stack parameter pasing. We want to change it to use register passing. What

project in the "CodeWarrior for ColdFire V6.3\E68K_Support\*" tree must I rebuild to do this ?

 Thanks,

 John

There doesn't seen to be a RegABI version of the library fp_coldfire.a or a way to build it.

Hello

fp_coldfire.a contains only functions implemented in assembly language.
There is no parameter passing scheme for assembly functions, so there is no need to have RegABI version of these library.

Also functions from this library are used internally by the compiler. They should never be used by the programmer.

Hello

Please look at {Install}\Help\PDF\ColdFire_Build_Tools_Reference.pdf.

Chapter "ColdFire Runtime Libraries", section "MSL for ColdFire Development" -> "Using MSL Libraries for ColdFire" includes a table showing naming convention for MSL & Runtime libraries.

RegABI_ is the substring you need to look for for register ABI.
