I've been looking closely at LLVM as a means to developing a new toolchain for an MCU core of very similar architecture. To that end, the once included PIC16 backend might be a valuable reference. I found a message in April of this year that indicated it had been dropped from new releases however, and that were it to be resumed "it will be largely a rewrite".<br>
<br>I'm wondering if I can get some details as to why it was dropped firstly and also, why would it be 'largely a rewrite' if it were resumed? Thanks in advance.<br>
