Microchip math file FLO3232U

[augustinetez]

Anybody seen this file anywhere FLO3232U ?

I have seen a reference to it relating to the Microchip C17 compiler and I can find FLO3232 (no U) as part of the Floating Point include file FP32.A16 from app note AN575

Came across it while messing with the Oshonsoft Pic Basic compiler as part of the inbuilt calls to floating point maths routines (shows up in the ASM file Oshonsoft generates).

Is it supposed to be recent?

The first math related files I ever searched were from almost 30 years in their ANs.

Well, their C17 compiler is ancient and that is the only reference I can find to it, so I would say that it is not recent.

Unfortunately, I can't download the compiler (their website says no) to see if it is included as one of the files.

Managed to find a pdf that lists the C17 libraries dated 2002 and the U means unsigned (there is also an S version = signed), the FP32.A16 file dates to the late 90's, so I'm guessing the U means there is an updated version somewhere (although still old).

Yeh, that one deals with advanced math functions, AN575 is the basic add. subtract, multipy , divide one.
