Hi there. Sorry for the noise, but I thought it would be nice to hear from a new porter who has gotten past the first few hurdles.
The architecture I'm working on is a 32 bit accumulator based machine with a very small instruction set. Binutils and GAS were straight forward and after some help I've incorperated the destructive compares, post reload fixes for the accumulator, and the limited addressing modes (well, mode :) I've hooked in my own simulator to the test suite. The compile test suite passes fine and the execute tests are down to from an initial 700 to 300 failures. The last fifty will be messy but the next few hundred should drop fairly easily. Thanks for everyones help so far. The code generated is already decent and will only get better. -- Michael
