Coldfile and Floating Point Context

[Sebastian Huber]

Hi,

I have problems with an initialization task with enabled floating point (which
is needed for the global C++ constructors).  The call to
_CPU_Context_restore_fp results in an exception because it tries to execute a
floating point instruction with DF set in the CACR register (= disabled
floating point).  Why is the floating point unit not enabled in the
restore/save FP routines?  On the PowerPC platform the FP unit will be enabled
during a restore/save since a FP context switch may occur in an ISR or
exception handler when the FPU is not available.  Is this different on the
ColdFire?  Where is the right place to enable the FP unit?

Have a nice day!
