What makes RISC-V special here? You speak as if RISC-V has some fundamental differences that invalidates old limitations that keep us trapped. Why is this the case? I'm very curious, and don't understand.
Also, why does preprocessing matter so much?
- sylware 3y agoRISC-V is a real free, worldwide standard for a modern and good enough ISA, and that changes everything, namely "moving forward" is not going to be the same than in a legacy context with those locked, non free ISAs. Preprocessing does matter because it would be pointless to get rid of the compiler complexity to get instead preprocessing complexity. For instance x86_64 assembler fasmg has the most powerful preprocessor out there.... because the assembler is actually written using this preprocessor language! So it is very easy to "slip" and to end up using excessively this prepropressor to actually write assembly code which is not an assembler!
