I'm not sure what value you're suggesting rustc would be able to bring there. If you want that in LLVM you can try your luck with the "resurrected" C backend: https://github.com/JuliaComputingOSS/llvm-cbe https://github.com/JuliaComputingOSS/llvm-cbe
I don't understand why I see so many requests for LLVM-based languages to change around their backend or IR, that seems to be a huge amount of work for comparatively little benefit. The correct thing to do there is to just add support for those to LLVM.
- dleslie 5y agoI don't want to "try my luck", I want to build software. GCC, and various proprietary vendor compilers, are often the only C compilers available on some hardware; and llvm doesn't have a mature, stable and supported backend for them, either.
