Hello, it's 9AM and 7 hours ago I decided I wanted to add 8051 support to LLVM,,,,
How's your day going?
Now you may ask me "why are you adding 8051 support to LLVM?"
Well you see, SDCC is icky, and doesn't support C++.
Yes, that's right, I plan to write C++ that targets the 8051.
Why? ＊incomprehensible catgirl sounds＊
good news! someone already did that.
well, kind of.
THEY WROTE A FUCKING RISC-V VM FOR THE 8051. I AM NOT JOKING. IT EVEN RUNS RUST.
also, i can confirm that it actually works: i literally have a 8051 dev board with this fucker on it in front of me right now, running a rust program. its insane
Yeah I've seen that, it's neat but it still uses SDCC / pure 8051 assembly. But it's a really cool project!
