Re: gm2 on M1

[Gaius Mulley]

Hi John,

interesting - I've seen various darwin patches being applied to the gcc git repro - which I rebase the gm2 branch against.

The gcc git log summary shows commits for darwin changes this evening.

https://gcc.gnu.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=gcc.git

I'll check and see if this is related to M1 (though if I recall there has been some M1 discussion) and testing hardware available on the gcc processor farm (if memory serves correctly).  I thought gcc-12 would support the M1 - but again I will double check all this!

I will be merging gm2 against the master branch in the next day or so - (git merge master - and assuming it builds successfully - I'll git push the modula-2 branch).

regards,

Gaius

Gaius,

Support for the M1 was announced here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2021-September/237340.html

Current experimental branch is here:
https://github.com/iains/gcc-darwin-arm64

Said branch has Ada, Fortran, and others but, of course, no GM2.  I am
not familiar enough with git to try to graft gm2 into it.   I would be
grateful for any advice.

In the end, I would simply wait.

Sincerely,
john
