- Subject: powerpc implicit FPU usage (PR847)
I'm about to commit a few patches addressing PR847.
This will strictly disable the FPU for all non-floating
point tasks and ISRs (powerpc, 'new' exception processing).
It is likely that some people will experience
crashes because there *is* illegal FPU usage.
We might want to set CPU_ALL_TASKS_ARE_FP to TRUE
on PPCs with a hardware FPU. A more flexible approach
would be a slot in the CPU configuration table.
Comments ?
