Laurent Guerby and others are working on enhancing GNAT so that it supports arm and armel as a target. Unfortunately, only SJLJ exception handling works at the moment and SJLJ is both very slow and non-standard on that architecture; the EABI mandates ZCX. See the threads stating at: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2009-08/msg00192.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-09/msg00450.html It is not ready for use yet. I'm sure they'll welcome help. -- Ludovic Brenta. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
