Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH][MIPS] FPU support for MIPS

[Fabrice Bellard <fabrice@bellard.org>]

A few remarks:

1) Why do you use 3 temporaries ? Maybe two suffice in most cases.

2) do_cmp_d() should be completely decoded at translation time.

3) I suspect the macro FPR() does too many things at runtime which gives 
an important performance loss. CP0St_FR should be known at translation time.

You should use CONFIG_SOFTFLOAT to validate your code. The ARM target 
does it, so it works (see the configure script).
