What development resources is green hills contributing to GCC or clang? As far as I know, they don't actively develop either, aside from selling a completely unrelated compiler that used to be called "gcc" long before the Gnu compiler ever used that name. They also haven't meaningfully participated in the mailing lists under their company name.
In any case, it's my understanding that the C standards have largely been community driven efforts that formalized things already being done by major compilers like Gnu rather than driven by the technical needs of industry the way C++ has.
- pjmlp 3y agoTheir new compiler is a clang fork, they contribute at least to LLVM.
- AlotOfReading 3y agoInteresting, how did you find that out and which product was it for (if you can say)? They recently (as in this year) assured me that the safety certified compiler was home-grown. I'm inclined to believe them given how broken the parser is and how many features it lacks.
- pjmlp 3y agoSorry about that, I typed from head without cross-checking. I thought having read it somewhere on one of those embedded forums like embedded.com. Upon further investigation they are still using their own stuff. https://www.ghs.com/products/compiler.html https://www.ghs.com/products/compiler.html
