Ask for mentor of "EFI extension of Binutils" at GNU of GSoC

Hi all, I have applied a proposal "EFI extension of Binutils" at GNU of GSoC. According to comment of GNU's mentor, there is no mentor in GNU interesting in it and suggest me to post the application at GCC mailing list. If someone interested in it, could you offer some comment on it or ev

Re: Idea for Google Summer Code : C Compiler for EFI Byte Code implement in gcc

Hello Tristan I think the main issue is that EFI C dialect is not ANSI-C compliant: the size of pointer is determined at the run-time and therefore the layout of the structure is not static. Gcc doesn't support this model. I have read the sizeof and VLA in C99 I found a example: EXAMPLE 3

Hello Tristan, I think the main issue is that EFI C dialect is not ANSI-C compliant: the size of pointer is determined at the run-time and therefore the layout of the structure is not static. Gcc doesn't support this model. As I read some related information, LLVM IR doesn't care the size

Re: Idea for Google Summer Code : C Compiler for EFI Byte Code implement in gcc

Hello Andrew, Who would maintain this EFI back-end? The EFI specification was originally developed by Intel, and is now managed by the Unified EFI Forum[http://www.uefi.org/home/]. So, you don't know who would maintain the EFI back-end that you're proposing for gcc? I feel sorry that I mis

Re: Idea for Google Summer Code : C Compiler for EFI Byte Code implement in gcc

Hello Joe, The other hurdle would be the ABI. It's very particular since it has to accommodate calling into and from EBC, x86, x86_64, ia64, and any other architecture available. It's structured mainly on Microsoft's stdcall ABI. I have read the part about EBC of EFI specification.But I foun

Re: Idea for Google Summer Code : C Compiler for EFI Byte Code implement in gcc

引述 Andrew Haley : There is no reason in principle this shouldn't be part of gcc. I think no-one has responded yet because they don't know what it would be for, and how much work it would involve. What compiler doing is: c -> intermediate language -> asm(ex. x86). And then, c compiler for efi

Hello all, I am highly interestd in implementing C compiler for EFI Byte Code in gcc and participate in Google Summer Code. EFI is a much larger, more complex,OS-like replacement for the older BIOS firmware interface present in all IBM PC-compatible personal computers. and the EFI specificat
