- saagarjha 7y agoMotorola 68000 is still widely in use; why would they remove it?

There are some back-end changes coming to GCC, and no one had ported m68k to it (presumably there is no maintainer for m68k in GCC?) The back-end code the m68k code was relying upon was going away, and it needed ported to use the modern one. Someone has stepped up and done that work, so it gets to live another day. https://gcc.gnu.org/backends.html https://gcc.gnu.org/backends.html based on this is looks like avr, cris, h8300, mn10300 and vax are yet to be ported away from cc0.
- sanxiyn 7y agoIt was proposed and retracted, because m68k got ported to the new infrastructure.
