[LLVMdev] Thinking of dropping Microblaze support in ELLCC.

[Richard Pennington]

ELLCC (http://ellcc.org 
<https://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fellcc%2Eorg&urlhash=dsXU&_t=tracking_anet>) 
is an open source cross development tool chain based on clang/LLVM and 
other open source projects. The LLVM project decided to drop Microblaze 
last year due to lack of interest. I brought the sources into my source 
fork of LLVM and have been keeping it fairly up to date since then. It 
can compile most C and some C++ programs. I haven't had the time to 
track down the few bugs remaining to make it fully functional. Currently 
it compiles cleanly with the latest (as of last weekend) LLVM TOT.

I'm thinking of dropping this quixotic effort so that I can devote more 
time to the rest of the supported processors. It seems a shame since the 
clang/LLVM compiler is a very nice tool and I think that Microblaze 
would benefit from being supported by it.

I'm posting this here in case anyone in the Xilinx world would like to 
pick it up before it fades away. LLVM is very fast moving and if the 
code generator is not maintained it will quickly bit rot.
