gcc - 启用GCC-Arm-None-EABI中的浮点仿真

Question

I am trying to figure out how should I enable soft floating point support for arm-none-eabi-gcc编译器。 The version of arm-none-eabi-gcc是 gcc version 6.3.1 20170620 (15:6.3.1+svn253039-1build1) 。

I have a Makefile with following compiler and linker options:

CFLAGS   = -W -Wall -O0 --std=gnu99 -fgnu89-inline -mcpu=cortex-m3 -mthumb -msoft-float
CFLAGS  += -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -mfloat-abi=soft -u _printf_float -u _scanf_float
LDFLAGS  = -nostartfiles -specs=rdimon.specs -specs=nano.specs -lc -lrdimon -u _printf_float -u _scanf_float  

But even after compiling with these options I am not able to use float或double , for e.g. the code doesn't execute after, if I try to typecast double to long e.g.

long var_tempNumber_u32;
double var_floatNumber_f32;
var_tempNumber_u32 = (long)var_floatNumber_f32;  

I am using a custom linker script and as per this NXP Community Link I have added GROUP(libgcc.a libc.a libm.a)之前SECTIONS line in linker script.

I am working on LPC1768 micro-controller.

Update:

After some findings I found out that Cortex-M3 is going into Hard Fault handler, so I installed a custom hard-fault handler to get the stack trace and I found out that my firmware is crashing after returning from __aeabi_d2uiz功能。

Contents of ARM registers at the time of Hard Fault:

r0: 0x81
r1: 0x43C0
r2: 0xC000
r3: 0x1
r12: 0x0000000000
LR: 0xBB1B
PC: 0x884A  

Excerpt from the disassembly:

    bb7c:   412e8480    smlawbmi    lr, r0, r4, r8  

The address in Link Register is pointing to the instruction inside the above function which is after __aeabi_d2uiz library function call.
I am not that expert in assembly so I am not able to find the root cause of it.
I also tried increasing the .stackarea i.e. stack size of my application firmware without any luck.
Please anyone, let me know how to find a possible resolution of this issue.

经过调试和在互联网上搜索了一下，我找到了这个问题的根本原因。 问题出在链接描述文件中，没有为 ARM 堆栈展开定义任何部分。
因此，我将以下行添加到链接器脚本文件中:

    .ARM.extab :
    {
        *(.ARM.extab* .gnu.linkonce.armextab.*)
    } > IROM

    /*
     * Arm stack unwinding.
     * If removed may cause random crashes.
     */
    .ARM.exidx :
    {
        __exidx_start = .;
        *(.ARM.exidx* .gnu.linkonce.armexidx.*)
        __exidx_end = .;
    } > IROM

问题已解决。
递归函数需要堆栈展开，因为浮点到整数转换的 GCC 库函数调用是递归的，所以需要堆栈展开，而这是以前不存在的。
