I found this: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2008-03/msg00812.html
I tried to find what was contained at http://www.jsm-net.demon.co.uk/xgate via every cached search engine imaginable .. but ended up empty handed.
can anyone tell me what was at that link ? or point me to a cached version that I didn't find.

Re: gcc xgate
You were looking at incomplete work by the MS crew. Once "completed" it was withheld from the public. The reason I decided to start on my own work.
You snooze, you lose!
Re: gcc xgate
so you can post your changes to gpl'd code and then retract it ? incomplete or not ?
I do, but I don't, understand all this secrecy .. it just makes me want to dig deeper. I would have just solicited for donations to buy a couple of seats of codewarrior and be done with it. I have a feeling that they've already learned this lesson.
I'd still like to see whatever was at that link.

Re: gcc xgate
It seems the tide chaged as MS3 or more likely their business plans developed.
I would have just solicited for donations to buy a couple of seats of codewarrior and be done with it - Exactly I would suspect 2-3x the productivity and in their shoes would have done the same.
You can view an early version here http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeems/files/
Anyway, I'm going to see if I can get other address modes built into binutils this week. Have you talked to Fred about doing stuff in CW for the time being ?

Re: gcc xgate
I could .. he wasn't against me supplying the code (it would probably be in C) and then he would commit the resulting bin and code until something else came along.
Re: gcc xgate
EssEss, provided you're not distributing binaries, you don't have to distribute code AFAIK. Thus, you could put code up, someone could take it, and they can keep sharing it, or not, and you can then take it down again (maybe its buggy?) and carry on closed dev. etc.
As for us using codewarrior, I see it as not an option. It would preclude dev input from all other sources. In fact, someone, Phil?, ported the ms2 codewarrior code to GCC shortly after it was released for the same reason. Hence start in, and stay in GCC.
And sure, we could start devving on xgate using the external bin generation and check-in method, lots to do before we get to that, though. Mostly in discussion and design on the forum. While that's going on, I'll be tidying up loose ends left right and centre to assist that effort in moving more quickly once it starts.

Re: gcc xgate
So there is no freely available gcc for xgate ?

Re: gcc xgate
There is no GCC, but there is an assembler now :-)

Re: gcc xgate
Do we need a compiler ?

Re: gcc xgate
No, it doesn't make sense in the context of our intended xgate usage.
