What does 'hf' mean?

0 votes
For the Android libraries, there is a v7a and v7a-hf version. I'm assuming 'hf' stands for hard float, but my question then would be why is it the hard float version? My understanding is that v7a architecture supports hard floats already, so what is different about the 'hf' version?

HF does stand for hard float. The reason we provide both libraries is because not all v7a devices support HF, and HF uses a different ABI, so the libraries need to be compiled differently.

For more information, look here: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/ARM-Options.html , more specifically the mfloat-abi option.
