We (Intel) would like to propose removal of the Nios2 backend from the repository. It is currently considered an experimental target. The implementation is not complete and months went by without anyone noticing it doesn't build. See https://reviews.llvm.org/D56178 Due to internal priority changes, it doesn't look like it will become more maintained in the near future. So I would like to propose removing it from the repository. I will put together a patch for review shortly. ~Craig -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[llvm-dev] RFC: Removal of Nios2 backend
FWIW, I support this especially as it doesn't build. If someone wants to revive it, removing it won't actually make that much harder (if at all) given that they'd need to clean up the build as well. Are there any other (non-Intel) devs who contributed significantly or might have specific opinions about this? Does it make more sense to this before or after the branch?
