“Newlib” and “Optimized”
“Newlib” and “Optimized”
There are “Newlib” and “Optimized”, but please tell me which way I should use
HEW,GNURX14.01
Hello,
You may use any of the libraries, in general “optimized” has more functions optimized in assembly, so it has better performance, while “newlib” is aimed at compatibility and had better support from RedHat over the years.
Another notable difference is that “optimized” is proprietary, while “newlib” is open source.
We would recommend “newlib”, you can switch to “optlib” anytime later on, if the project has runtime issues.
