Interesting. Looking through the release notes and roadmap, it seems to not yet support AMD processors nor have native C (family) compilers yet.
Those are on the roadmap for the 9.2-1 release though, which looks to be for "some time" in the next few months.
Will have to wait until then to look at it, as we don't have Intel processors running anywhere any more.
- eschaton 4y agoIt does have native compilers to download and install, the release notes are out of date.
- jabl 4y agoThis presentation from a few years ago says their x86 porting approach is based on utilizing LLVM (and clang for C++) rather than writing an x86 backend for their existing compiler. Has this been done by now, and is it the way it was eventually done? https://vmssoftware.com/docs/2021-04-27-x86-Compiler-Update.pdf https://vmssoftware.com/docs/2021-04-27-x86-Compiler-Update....
- ch_123 4y agoYes, the native compilers are now LLVM based. Reading between the lines, it seems like this migration was one of the reasons this release has been delayed by a few years.
