The XCore backend was written by Richard Osborne at XMOS. Richard has moved on.

We are currently integrating the upstream changes into the shipping compiler, following the LLVM coding standards. We would like to upstream when possible, but we don't have an estimated date yet.<o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 6pt 0cm 0.0001pt; line-height: 14px; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I hope this sounds promising, and welcome any comments or questions.<o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 6pt 0cm 0.0001pt; line-height: 14px; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Nigel Perks<o:p class=""></o:p></p></div></div></blockquote><br class=""></div><div>This all sounds great Nigel. I think it would also make sense to update the CODE_OWNERS’s file with an active maintainer. Who do you think is the best candidate?</div><div><br class=""></div><div>-Chris</div><br class=""></body></html>
