--> I would join right
away! I am making a backend for CortexM0 to learn this black art. Even
though the ARM backend is here to show me the way, this is still quite
hard to get things right in a reasonable time. For example loading an
immediate value from a constant pool or implementing push/pop/pop_ret
were not an easy ride...
A workshop would be really useful to get
people going beyond the point of emitting xor,and, add instructions. In
my opinion there are enough resources online to start a backend and emit
few instructions but no guide to help you till you get something fully
functional, even for an architecture as standard as CortexM0.
Regards,
Sebastien
