    32  This directory contains all code for the mpn layer of GMP.
    33  
    34  Most subdirectories contain machine-dependent code, written in assembly or C.
    35  The `generic' subdirectory contains default code, used when there is no
    36  machine-dependent replacement for a particular machine.
    37  
    38  There is one subdirectory for each ISA family.  Note that e.g., 32-bit SPARC
    39  and 64-bit SPARC are very different ISA's, and thus cannot share any code.
    40  
    41  A particular compile will only use code from one subdirectory, and the
    42  `generic' subdirectory.  The ISA-specific subdirectories contain hierachies of
    43  directories for various architecture variants and implementations; the
    44  top-most level contains code that runs correctly on all variants.
