- JoshTriplett 6y agoThere's also rust_codegen_gcc, which I'm much more hopeful about. It uses GCC as the code generation backend, but keeps the existing Rust frontend, rather than duplicating code and potentially diverging.
- throwaway525142 6y agoYour comment is the only search result for rust_codegen_gcc I can find on the Internet. Care to share a link? EDIT: Ah, found lower in the thread: https://github.com/antoyo/rustc_codegen_gcc https://github.com/antoyo/rustc_codegen_gcc. The missing c was enough to make it not show up in searches.
- JoshTriplett 6y agoSorry for the name mixup; that's the right one, yes. That project could use more contributors, if anyone is interested.
- steveklabnik 6y agoThis is only true depending on what you mean by "go anywhere." This is not a hard requirement for landing Rust in tree. It is a hard requirement for Rust in things other than drivers. But that's a ways off. Walk before you run.
