You are right about the TOC, my other long articles have them, but for this one I simply forgot to generate one. I will generate it tomorrow.
There's no compiler, and yes you are right managing a limited set of registers is hard when compiling from higher level languages. But there are a few compilers for LC3, so it's not impossible to write them even for such a limiting number of registers. But this is not my area of expertise, so someone more knowledgeable can comment on that.
- userbinator 5y agoIf 8 registers is "limiting", I don't know what you'd call something like a PIC which has a single accumulator... and yet, C compilers exist for those too. On the bright side, it really reduces the number of choices for register allocation.
