Annotation of OpenXM_contrib/gmp/mpn/README, Revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       maekawa     1: This directory contains all code for the mpn layer of GMP.
                      2:
                      3: Most subdirectories contain machine-dependent code, written in assembly or
                      4: C.  The `generic' subdirectory contains default code, used when there is no
                      5: machine-dependent replacement for a particular machine.
                      6:
                      7: There is one subdirectory for each architecture.  Note that e.g., 32-bit
                      8: sparc and 64-bit sparc cannot share any code, and are therefore considered
                      9: completely different architecture.
                     10:
                     11: A particular machine will only use code from one such subdirectory, and the
                     12: `generic' subdirectory.  The architecture-specific subdirectory contains a
                     13: hierachy of directories for various architecture variants and
                     14: implementations; the top-most level contains code that runs correctly on all
                     15: variants.
