LDC for armel

[giulioz]

Is there any support for armel (arm9) architecture?
I compiled the whole compiler and runtime from source but it yields SIGILL:

Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction. 0x0047f0d8 in _D4core6atomic__T8atomicOpVAyaa2_2b3dTkTiZQzFNaNbNiNeKOkiZk (val=@0xb6980884: 0, mod=1) at /usr/lib/ldc/x86_64-linux-gnu/include/d/core/atomic.d:321

Can you give me any help?

That line is a call to an LLVM intrinsic, so you'll most likely need to play around with the -mcpu command-line option.
Judging by your import path, you built the compiler on an x64 machine and are cross-compiling to ARM? Which command-line flags are you using?

[kinke]

Ah, ARM9 is of course ARMv5 (sarcasm off); there are some issues with that, most notably the required usage of -mattr=+strict-align and patching a few places in druntime, like the enum here. See #2058.

On a positive note, I was able to run a pretty sofisticated vibe.d app on my controller (with the tweaks for eh and for some missing functions on my glibc version).

Yes, since i'm compiling for the Lego EV3 i'm using arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc to compile from x86_64 on Docker. I will try rebuilding with the patches you linked, thank you for now.

Closing, nothing actionable here.
