This directory contains all code for the mpn layer of GMP. Most subdirectories contain machine-dependent code, written in assembly or C. The `generic' subdirectory contains default code, used when there is no machine-dependent replacement for a particular machine. There is one subdirectory for each architecture. Note that e.g., 32-bit sparc and 64-bit sparc cannot share any code, and are therefore considered completely different architecture. A particular machine will only use code from one such subdirectory, and the `generic' subdirectory. The architecture-specific subdirectory contains a hierachy of directories for various architecture variants and implementations; the top-most level contains code that runs correctly on all variants.
