I had a 6100/60. It was one of the most significant personal computer upgrades I’d ever done- the Rosetta that ran 680x0 code on PPC was impressive. This was also around the time I think Apple decided to start to stay processor-agnostic by starting the LLVM project when OS X/Rhapsody became a thing
- azinman2 4y agoLLVM was Chris Lattner’s graduate work. Apple didn’t start it. He finished his PhD and got hired by Apple in 2005, well past when Max OS X came out. For a longtime the toolchain for OS X (and iOS) was GCC.
- hedgehog 4y agoI believe the first use of LLVM in MacOS was the OpenGL fallback shader compiler in 10.5 released in 2007.
- jonhohle 4y agoLLVM was started far after the 6100 and, afaik, didn't move to an Apple backed project until 2005[0]. Apple did have "fat" binaries during the classic Mac OS transition, and interestingly enough, so did NeXT. The implementations were very different, however, and OS X eventually got the NeXT implementation. 0 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LLVM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LLVM
- pmarreck 4y agoah thanks for the clarification
- scarface74 4y agoThe first generation 68K emulator was far from impressive. It ran 68k code on my 6100/60 slower than my souped up LCII with a 68030/40Mhz card. Connectix’s Speed Doubler had a much better emulator.
