Doesn't GCC support more architectures than LLVM? Wasn't that the issue a while back with the Rust dependency that a cryptography module for Python introduced?

- ATsch 4y agoAdding a GCC backend for Rust (rust-codegen-gcc) does this already. I do not personally see the point of writing another frontend in C++.
- pjmlp 4y agoDependency on an existing Rust compiler during GCC bootstrap process.
- ATsch 4y agoYou already need an existing C++ compiler to bootstrap GCC though I don't see how this is much different. Plus there is already mrustc as a C++ Rust implementatation specifically designed for bootstrapping.
- pjmlp 4y agoIt is one more dependency, not written in C++, and you don't see the difference?
