llvm dev - Sep 2017 - [RFC] Adding ARC backend

Hi Pete,

 > https://reviews.llvm.org/D36331

Congratulations!

 > Following shortly:

 > * Clang driver and target triple support.

great, then it is able to generate ELF by $ /opt/llvm-svn/bin/clang -c 
--target=arc hello.c -o hello.o -mmcu=XXX

and do you plan to implement ARC target for lld[1]? it is a good 
testcase: flash them directly to the chip[2], or simulator[3].


1. ARC target for lld

2. ARC platforms https://embarc.org/platforms.html

3.

Basically yes, but we have not implemented the integrated assembler yet, so
currently rely on an external ARC gnu toolchain.
Plus, there are a wide variety of subtargets that are basically unsupported
until we start adding configuration support.

Supporting ARC in lld is a good question.  It has not been on my personal
short-list, but if you (or others) are interested in specific features, that
helps us.
I personally use the bare-metal simulator you sited, though the link you
supplied doesn't seem to point out where to get it?

Hi Pete,
Thanks for your kind response!
I migrated AVR target for lld https://reviews.llvm.org/D32991 it is very
beginning, only support R_AVR_CALL reloc, and ARC is more complex than AVR, I
will learn it from binutils, also ARC related doc, then try to implement it.
