Would it be easier to design this into gcc as a separate architecture or would that be too unmanagable? It may or may not be of benefit to other embedded projects as well so there may be more help keeping it up to date if it was in the gcc tree. Then again, someone could modify it for their own needs and make it unusable for what it was intended.
Beats me.. gcc is the one compiler of the free software compilers it might be possible to integrate with. I think it is a real pain to start with.
If someone knows more about gcc feel free to go ahead and try.
Mostly I am avoiding that route in the interests of simplicity and comprehensibility. Someone familiar with gcc might have a different take on the situation.
As things get a little farther I hope to publish the subset of C I plan on using, which can aid other attempts.
