When XPLINK should be used

The type of application that could benefit most from using XPLINK is an application that makes many calls to small functions. C++ is a good example, since the OO programming model makes this possible. C applications that make many function calls might also be suitable for XPLINK.

To further enhance the performance of an XPLINK application, the IEEE binary floating-point math library should be used by specifying the FLOAT(IEEE) compiler option. This math library has been recompiled entirely in XPLINK, while the Hexadecimal math library remains non-XPLINK and therefore requires a call through glue code from XPLINK applications.
