Disassembler working!
Looking into the toolchain more, the next step after the assembler seemed to be a disassembler. LLVM handles a lot of the details of this using the same data tables created for the assembler, so it seemed like it wouldn’t […]

Assembler fully working
The new LLVM-based assembler is fully working, and 100% of the regression tests have been moved over to it as of this afternoon. It took close to 9 months to get done, but it’s all working now and gives us […]
Assembler progress
I’ve spent the last few evenings tweaking the LLVM backend’s MC code to fix a lot of minor issues, and it’s to the point where it can generate normal output from ECLair assembly input now! It understands that different instructions […]
First successful assembly
Worked on the LLVM backend a bunch more this evening, and it successfully assembled something for the first time! Halt is just 0xfe but the backend only understands 16-bit instructions at the moment, so it assembled as noop, halt, but […]
Lots more toolchain work
I haven’t made any posts here in ages, but that doesn’t mean that work hasn’t been happening behind the scenes! I looked at what my options were last fall when it came to assemblers, and it looked like I had […]
