Selection of ARM C and C++ library variants based on build options

When you build your application, you must make certain choices. For example:
- Target Architecture and instruction set
ARM, 16-bit Thumb, or 32-bit Thumb.
- Byte order
Big-endian or little-endian.
- Floating-point support
Software (SoftVFP), hardware (VFP), software or hardware with half-precision or double-precision extensions, or no floating-point support.
- Position independence
Different ways to access your data are as follows:
by absolute address
relative to
sb(read/write position-independent)relative to
pc(fpic).
Different ways to access your code are as follows:
by absolute address when appropriate
relative to
pc(read-only position independent).
The standard C libraries provide variants to support all of these options.
Position-independent C++ code can only be achieved with
--apcs=/fpic.Note
Position independence is not supported in microlib.
When you link your assembler code, C or C++ code, the linker selects appropriate C and C++ library variants compatible with the build options you specified. There is a variant of the ISO C library for each combination of major build options.
