Libraries and Support Code

CodeWarrior software includes libraries and support files you can add to your project. This chapter describes these libraries and how to choose among them:

• Main Standard Libraries (MSL): ISO/IEC-standard C and C++ libraries
• runtime libraries: support for higher-level C and C++ language features
• board initialization: low-level startup routines

The sections of this chapter are:

• Main Standard Libraries
  Explains how to use the Power Architecture version of the Main Standard Libraries (MSL).
• Third Party Standard Libraries
  You might be able to use a third-party C standard library with your CodeWarrior tools.
• Embedded Warrior Library
  Explains how to use the Power Architecture version of the Embedded Warrior Library (EWL)
• Runtime Libraries
  A runtime library provides low-level functions that support high-level C and C++ language features, such as memory management and file system access.
• Board Initialization Code
  For each supported board, CodeWarrior for Power Architecture Processors includes a hardware initialization routine.
