Its still alive. It's just I have been paying more attention to z8-GCC and Grutils

Yes Liazon exactly, but for some of you I don't think you are getting an idea of how big GCC really is. So to write a patch for GCC you have to know what it is doing and when it is doing it and why. To write a backend all you need to do is take what GCC spits out. Patches are not ideal to the process and I think you guys should really just forget Applications.

It makes what it seems is the most optimizable way to compile the program.

Ok. I will try to explain it so you understand this. GCC is basically built for computers right. And computers support SMC right. Ok then GCC was never meant to compile non-SMC code. That is why it would require a rewrite.

Ok take it like this. The only way we could get GCC to compile something for Flash capability is to rewrite the GCC compiler which isn't going to happen. The second is to study all of GCC and write a series of patches because GCC builds assembly with SMC. So adding flash capability would be severely hard ok   . One thing you could do though is maybe write an ASM converter that converts the ASM to flash capable. That's pretty hard though too.

exactly Jon understands the severity of this and how hard it would to implement. A workaround is not substantial. And yes if you are a serious z80 programmer then Flash Applications are a breeze. Also how is z80 hard at all. This compiler is being written to make things faster, not necessarily easier because in my eyes ASM is easier than BASIC by far. One line corresponds to one command whereas is basic one line can have many functions being presented. And JincS what do you mean template?

Ok when I saw Kevin I mean Kevin Kofler. And also doesn't GCC support inline assembly. Remember whatever GCC can compile it will compile and we are just translating it to another system specification. Another thing is. Flash Applications would be fairly hard to integrate since that would require no SMC and multiple pages. And also their are problems with memory locations and others of the sort. Anyways z80 isn't that hard to write its easy to make an application and if you expect to make your C programs faster than you are going to have to code some speed-intensive parts in z80 asm.

JincS: Its good that we don't need to port it. It was too 68K specific and also wouldn't have taken some of our time we can now dedicate to writing the backend. Oh yeah and bfr Kevin and I pretty much have the IDE covered.

Ok this insanely time-saving and ingenious idea goes to Kevin_Kofler. There is no need to port a68K!!!! Binutils 2.17 already has a target for z80. So all we need to do is get ld-z80gcc to eat all the results and output a TI executable and then write the backend for GCC(the big son of a bit**)

 That's what I think of your smiley   . What software do you use to make your smileys??

Yeah that is definetly a better sprite and I am looking forward to that Rain Drops game. That titlescreen picture has already brought me into it.

Ok JincS and no not many people want to take on this massive dragon of a project lol Anyways yay I am ready to start to but before we do I have to iron out some details with you to keep things running smooth.(Halifax is glad you are sticking with him)

I want to be a beta tester to [email protected]

Ok the list has shortened to JincS and I(Halifax). This week coming JincS and I will begin to port ld-tigcc(the linker) onto a68K(the assembler) and then to z80gcc(the actual cross compiler).
