Annotation of OpenXM_contrib/gmp/mpn/README, Revision 1.1.1.2

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