EWL Naming Convention

Each archive name has 3 pieces: prefix, core and flags. Following are the details of each piece:

• The prefix is one of the following:
  • libm_ - mean that the library has math features
  • librt_ - mean that the library has runtime features
  • libc_ - mean that the library has reduced code size C features
  • libc99_ - mean that the library has faster and increased C99 conformant C features
  • libstdc++__ - mean that the library has latest C++ features
  • libc++_ - mean that the library has reduced code size C++ features
• The core starts with the processor family (like e200 or e500) and optionally ends with the core name (such as z750).
• Current flags are VLE, Soft (software floating point) and SPFP_Only (math library only has single precision sources and source file doubles are treated as if they are single precision). SPFP_Only is only used with e200 and e500 which have single precision floating point instructions but no double precision instructions.
  Note: EWL can only build unsigned char libraries. CodeWarrior no longer provides signed char library in EWL as it is not compliant with EABI. If required, users must build their own signed char libraries.

The Prefix Name used in EWL also differs from that of the MSL Prefix Name. For example, the prefix name ansi_prefix.PPCEABI.bare.h in MSL is referred to as ansi_prefix.PA_EABI.bare.h in EWL.

The table below lists the EWL Library Core And Flag Name and its equivalent MSL Suffix Name.
