LLVM for m68k completed (but not merged)
Hi!
I just received the news that the m68k backend for LLVM has been finished [1].
It has not been merged upstream yet (that will take some time), but it should
be usable now. I'm currently test-building it on Debian/m68k and it would probably
a good idea if more people give it a spin to help finding issues.
One issue I found is that CycleTimer has not been implemented. A quick fix is to
use the definition used by MIPS, i.e.:
diff --git a/llvm/utils/benchmark/src/cycleclock.h b/llvm/utils/benchmark/src/cycleclock.h
index 1b0f09359c9..88b7805faaf 100644
--- a/llvm/utils/benchmark/src/cycleclock.h
+++ b/llvm/utils/benchmark/src/cycleclock.h
@@ -161,7 +161,7 @@ inline BENCHMARK_ALWAYS_INLINE int64_t Now() {
struct timeval tv;
gettimeofday(&tv, nullptr);
return static_cast<int64_t>(tv.tv_sec) * 1000000 + tv.tv_usec;
-#elif defined(__mips__)
+#elif defined(__mips__) || defined(__m68k__)
// mips apparently only allows rdtsc for superusers, so we fall
// back to gettimeofday. It's possible clock_gettime would be better.
struct timeval tv;
Thanks,
Adrian
