At this point in time though I'd much prefer to commit a non-intrusive three-line quickfix (which we can easily remove later on) than no solution at all or than to refactor lots of softfloat code.

Thanks for the suggestion! _UINT16 is an interesting suggestion, however softfloat's uint16 is not uint16_t but int, so I'd rather not do it that way around.

We have three options: 1) I can say, "I'm the Cocoa maintainer for multiple years now, I don't care if someone pops up day before the deadline and complains" and just push my version of preference. 2) We disagree on the solution, so I'm fair and send a pull request for the three other non-controversial patches only and 1.0 remains broken on Darwin. 3) You send a patch based on this one, detailing what additional changes you suggest and we'll see clearer what exactly you mean. I'm not preferring any definition of int16, uint32, etc., there simply is no conflict, so why would I clutter softfloat.h with unnecessary workarounds that we want to go away anyway. Feel free to refactor fpu/* instead to not use uint16 in the first place. I did so once and it was rejected, so I'm not too inclined to do that again unless we decide on how exactly to proceed with that! Andreas

I think we could probably resolve that with a little bit of benchmarking about whether it really makes any difference whether we use an int16_t or an int32_t for the variables where softfloat has int16 currently; but benchmarking is tedious so I've never got round to it :-) -- PMM

Apart from non-intrusiveness further criteria are reversibility of the short-term fix[1] and ABI safety. I'll happily review new patches from tomorrow on.
