Diving Into GCC: OpenBSD and m88k

Posted by michael on Friday October 3, 2003 @07:49AM from the swimming-pool-filled-with-double-edged-razor-blades dept.

BSD Forums writes "This OnLamp article by Miod Vallat describes how the m88k-specific backend of the GNU C compiler, gcc, was fixed, from the discovery and analysis of the problems to the real fixing work. Since it started with almost zero gcc internals knowledge, it should be understandable by anyone able to read C code, and proves that diving into gcc is not as hard as one could imagine."

  My reply was to an AC's post that was deleted. But I guess this is what I get for trying to defend BSD users.

that's the planet/population rescue initiative, as most of you may already know of, &/or are involved in.

the kode base includes the pateNTdead eyecon0meter, as well as free unlimited access to the creator's newclear power plan.

gone (almost?) are the daze of the phonIE greed/fear based georgewellian fuddite corepirate nazi execrable. so it's just US now. get ready to see the light.

for each of the creator's innocents harmed, there is a badtoll that must/will be repaid by you/US. the perpetrators of harm against the planet/population will not be available to make reparations, after the big flash occurs.

consult with/trust in yOUR creator. more breathing. that's the spirit, moving you/US.

pay attention, to yOUR intentions/results.
