I don't know why you're being downvoted, because this question is very much in play. If Qualcomm decide they will produce RISC-V snapdragons without the C extension then it's hard to see how Android NDK apps using the extension would work (except incredibly slowly with some sort of trap and emulate).
- fidotron 3y agoQualcomm did almost exactly that with parts of the floating point on ARM before.
- kllrnohj 3y agoGoogle can always require it to be CDD compliant, and then those RISC-V Snapdragons simply won't run Android. Just like NEON is required for all ARM CPUs since API 21.
