I thought we are talking about Rust? Full official Tier 1 support for aarch64 and x86, why would you even want more? That is two, and let me say it again TWO fully supported CPU architectures, that is twice as many as your average computer needs. Nobody needs dozens, certainly not someone who wants to be a Rockstar Rust dev. . /s
- btilly 4y agoThere are lots of cases where you want more. For example Google's secure boot for Pixel uses the Titan M security chip, which is a RISC-V architecture. Still, looking at https://llvm.org/docs/CompilerWriterInfo.html https://llvm.org/docs/CompilerWriterInfo.html, it is hard to find an architecture that Clang won't support that is relevant to many people. And if someone does find one, well, Clang is open source and open to adding more architectures.
