I might think on it for a bit, but I may write an introduction to doing assembly for the Arduino within a free software environment.

Much of the code out there is written for proprietary compilers that use a different syntax.

Despite this, with a few changes you can get code off the internet for a non gcc compiler working pretty easily.

Setting constants, invoking register pairs, the register pair conventions, and a few other subtle syntax differences can all be fixed.

serial out now working.

work seems to be able to proceed a bit faster now that the different conventions between avr-as and avr-gcc are understood.

the project is opting to use avr-gcc for the power of its macros, which may come in handy. having symbol pre-processing available makes development that little bit easier.

Rust GCC back end: Why and how

Functions and responsibilities

Gloucestershire is administered by three levels of council:

1. County
2. City/District/Borough
3. Parish/Town

Local Government functions and responsibilities are governed by Acts of Parliament - principally the The Local Government Act 1972 - but the basic division of functions between Gloucestershire County Council, Stroud District Council and Parish and Town Councils (in Stroud District) are illustrated in this table.

GCC 16 considering changing default to C++20

2. #LLVM is evolving. It supports multiple front-end dialects, and if the kernel remains too tightly tied to #GCC -only assumptions, it risks becoming brittle as compilers evolve.

Accidently finding places to do cleanups is fun. For the last 10 years, remove_prop_source_from_use has always returned false and nobody noticed. It used to return if the cfg was changed but during GCC 5 it was changed to delay the purging of the eh related cfg until later on. This was done so match and simplify could be used.

It was considered known that there is no support within GNAT (Ada) for illumos. We cross-build a complete native binutils+gcc toolchain for illumos to test out this claim.

...only to discover that illumos has full support within GNAT. Not a single test fails.

Apparently there are no good #gcc tools to find unnecessary header includes in #CPP while using ninja/cmake (and NOTE not being the author of the build system)

...

A lot of you guys are #programmers what's the right tool here?

I don't need something that complains about every external include not found, just local symbols without having to recompile everything.

EDIT: Good Answers everyone!
