This issue is a meta tracking issue for all work related to self-hosting the Epoch compiler on 64-bit Windows.
While the 32-bit compiler has been self-hosted for some time, our primary interests moving forward are centered on 64-bit Windows. There are a number of changes to the LLVM integration in the 64-bit compiler. Many of the base features of the language are complete, but many more are not. Moreover, several implementations of features like the garbage collector are still pending in 64-bit land.
This meta-issue will remain open during the work on self-hosting in 64-bit land. Sub-issues will be opened for specific tasks and added as blockers of this issue. Once the identified blocking issues are addressed, we can revisit this meta issue as necessary and close it once self-hosting is accomplished.
