+cubanismo Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Just saw Rust support for 68k has landed in LLVM: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/88321 Anyone messed around with using this for Jaguar yet? Anyone tried building Jaguar stuff with LLVM/clang for that matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoboz Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) Although it would be very interesting to see if the LLVM/clang combination can be used for Jaguar development? If someone could add support for the Atari Jaguar RISC CPUs (inside Tom & Jerry) to the LLVM backend arm-none-eabi armv7a-none-eabi arm-linux-gnueabihf arm-none-linux-gnueabi i386-pc-linux-gnu x86_64-apple-darwin10 i686-w64-windows-gnu # same as i686-w64-mingw32 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu # from ubuntu 64 bit x86_64-unknown-windows-cygnus # cygwin 64-bit x86_64-w64-windows-gnu # same as x86_64-w64-mingw32 i686-pc-windows-gnu # MSVC x86_64-pc-windows-gnu # MSVC 64-BIT tomnjerry-risc-cpu # Atari Jaguar 64-BIT Edited September 21, 2021 by phoboz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reasons, I could use more excuses to learn more about Rust. I was thinking getting a "Hello World" program running on Jaguar would be good motivation for me, but wanted to see if anyone had already done the legwork. 10 hours ago, phoboz said: If someone could add support for the Atari Jaguar RISC CPUs (inside Tom & Jerry) to the LLVM backend That's about 100x more effort than what I had in mind, but yeah, that'd be pretty cool. Probably easier than reviving the gcc backend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordKraken Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Quote but wanted to see if anyone had already done the legwork. Never heard of Rust in the Jaguar world so far... Now isn't the problem that writing your game exclusively for the 68k is the guarantee to miss the real power of the Jaguar? Now on Rust itself... We used Rust at work for one (important) project. The language is interesting and the first impression when getting it running from vs code is great. But for people used to the "craziness" of C/C++, the language definitely feels a bit too strict (that's the point one could argue). If you want to feel that, after getting your "hello world" up and running, just write a simple game, a pong for instance. Good luck (now for the little story, in the end we delivered the project in time and in a sound state, but it has been a mess to support it since then because finding new hires with Rust expertise happens to be VERY difficult...)
