[gnu.gcc] GCC on a PYRAMID??

schmidt@cadlab.uucp (Michael Schmidt) (11/13/88)

Has anybody tried (or perhaps even completed) to port the gcc to
a PYRAMID? I would be really interested in it.

I would also be interested in this. If anybody has done this please let
me know, too.

Thanks in advance!

I have committed to doing this port, but haven't gotten any farther
than alloca() problems, and attempting to organize the stupid files
into directories, so I can make sense out of it.

I should finish sometime next year.

I've worked on Pyramid compilers before (at Pyramid), and
if anyone wants to do it in parallel, or has any advice,
or helpful hints, let me know.

Jonathan Stone (jonathan@comp.vuw.ac.nz) and I spent a weekend on this a
couple of months ago.  We got as far as being able to compile some *very*
simple programs correctly but the whole thing still needs a lot of work.

This was done with gcc 1.21.   gcc 1.30 seems to have solved some of the
problems we had (we only got 1.30 last week) but we don't really have time
to work on it at the moment.

If anyone is interested we can give them what we've got, and suggest what
we think still needs to be done and where we think the problems are.

cheers
