If time permits can we also compare the differences in retargetting SDCC and GCC?
By – Rohit Krishna Kumar <> Ans: Although SDCC is called a retargetable compiler, its process of retargetting is not driven by specifications. One needs to write the code generator manually. GCC does not require one to write the code generator manually; it generates the code generator from machine descriptions. SDCC does not have any concept of machine descriptions as input to the compiler generation framework — in fact, SDCC is _not_ a compiler generation framework unlike GCC. I am not sure if we will be able to devote any time to internals of SDCC but we will certainly compare these two approaches in the process of evolving a desirable approach to retargetting.
