digitalmars.D.ldc - Status update: RISC-V port
- =?UTF-8?B?THXDrXM=?= Marques (11/11) Nov 02 2018 Hi,
Hi, I've just joined lowRISC, where I'm working on LLVM support for RISC-V and some other related things. That means that, after settling in, I will resume my efforts to port LDC/druntime/Phobos to RISC-V. Some of the RISC-V LLVM features required for D will also start landing soon (e.g. atomics support), which will minimize the amount of workarounds I have to use. I'll also be in a better position to contribute to LDC more broadly, as I'll have a better understanding of LLVM. Cheers, Luís

I'd have rented a RISC-V VPS instead, but there's none available. ;)
