The forum has been quite lately and just wanted to make sure Charles is doing okay. PING

Hi John, all is well. :)

I am still going 100% and the new layer is shaping up nicely.

Am I missing something with a new layer?  Or does this refer to the c emitter?
Time is running out Charles on December 21 and the Mayan Calendar :)

Hi Kent,

Oxygen has now got a new layer between the x86 assembler and the upper parts of the compiler, - a generic assembler if you will. It is internal at present, not exposed for programmer access, but that could be changed quite easily.

We also have more efficient array resolution, and expression organisation more compatible with LLVM, which does not use a stack for pushing and popping temporary variables.

I am of course assuming that we are not exposed to a massive solar storm or blast of electro-magnetic energy from the centre of the galaxy, taking out all our electronic devices on the 21st December :)

Maybe you should post a W.I.P. before then just in case we all end up working local off our generators. I have witness stranger things ...  :o

Oh cool, so moving towards LLVM compatibility underneath will open many possibilities, thanks!

We had 2 massive solar flares the last weeks, luckily heading the wrong way.

I would say LLVM script is not exactly beautiful but the system has been adopted by Apple and underpins X-code / Objective C. That is strong backing indeed.
