New Jaguar GCC

[Orion_]

I guest there's no way around Asm when it comes to the Jag. That's a reality I've finally come to except.

 

Until someone writes a new C compiler for the Jag that utilizes the gpu main ram technique's the Frog and Atari Owl pioneered.

by the way, does this technique is described somewhere ? so we can try to make a C compiler.

Inside the Frog's and Atari Owl's head.

 

It's not out and out described but it seems there are a lot of clues given on how it works.

 

Like you said, it will never be as fast as assembly. Probably best to mix them if a proper C compiler does see the light of day.

It's just the way it is. The asm is not at all difficult and it is fast.

You wont likely have an easy time of getting this to happen on a C compiler without all kinds of

speacial features and functions to handle the main code. For now its asm plus the debugulator in

the works will make RISC asm a breeze as you will be abel to see what every last register and

flag in the risc is doing as it executes.
