GCC/gfortran should soon follow, no?
- my123 6y agoThe current effort is done with this out of tree repository: https://github.com/iains/gcc-darwin-arm64 https://github.com/iains/gcc-darwin-arm64 Which supports macOS on Apple Silicon quite well, hopefully will be merged soon to mainline GCC.
- mistrial9 6y agoIt is possible that Apple Inc will forcefully eliminate GCC from their platforms, replaced with Clang/LLVM and other non-GPL tools only.
- baggy_trough 6y agoNo, it really isn't.
- pdpi 6y agoThey're certainly well on their way to remove all GPL code from macOS itself if they haven't yet, but there's not much they can do to prevent you from installing GPL software yourself (nor much of a motivation to do so for that matter).
- fedorareis 6y agoMacOS already doesn’t include GCC. The GCC command on MacOS is an alias for Clang unless you install gcc separately (unless there is a hidden GCC install I’m unaware of).
- jabl 6y agoSoon and soon. Problem is that macOS/ARM64 has a new ABI [1], and nobody has implemented that in GCC. A couple of people are working on it apparently on their own time, but it's a fairly significant undertaking. Might be ready for GCC 11 which if history is a guide should be released in spring 2021. Or then it might not be ready. [1] Why not use the standard ARM64 ABI as published by ARM? Well shits and giggles.
- saagarjha 6y agoIt’s the same as the iOS ABI.
