I just wrote my first compiler! - single pass, recursive descent, direct emission - generates REL ELF binaries, runnable using ESP-IDF elf_loader - very basic features only, just enough for self-hosting - treats the Xtensa CPU as a stack machine for simplicity, no register allocation / window usage - compilable on Mac, probably also Linux, can cross-compile for esp32 there - wrote for fun / cyberdeck project Sample output from esp32: xcc700.elf xcc700.c -o /d/cc.elf [ xcc700 ] BUILD COMPLETED > OK > IN : 700 Lines / 7977 Tokens > SYM : 69 Funcs / 91 Globals > REL : 152 Literals / 1027 Patches > MEM : 1041 B .rodata / 17120 B .bss > OUT : 27735 B .text / 33300 B ELF [ 40 ms ] >> 17500 Lines/sec << My best hope is that some fork might grow into a unique nice language tailored to the esp32 pl...
