the SuperH backend #558

Open dylndreams opened 3 weeks ago

dylndreams commented 3 weeks ago

i come from the Dreamcast homebrew community and would like to have official backend support, as the one we have wraps the MIPS ELF to SH. i'm making a library for the console aswell, and would love to make Rust the official language for it. This is only a request for the backend, no pressure on it. If you want to know how we're doing it right now, go to: https://dreamcast.rs

Thanks in advance, LUCiDViSUALS.

What do you mean by official backend support? Do you mean having a Rust target that is SuperH?

We're in the process of adding rustup distribution, which part of this is probably necessary before adding new GCC-only targets, but unfortunately the process is very slow on the Rust side.

thats good to know, i figured that it would take awhile. i heard that the people behind the codegen aren’t the ones behind adding the backend. but no pressure, take your time. really appreciate you guys for doing this
