More bounties underway!

A couple of weeks ago, we marked the ARMv7 code generation from the C compiler bounty as underway. This is great news for developers helping to ensure RISC OS software remains future-proof.

Today we also marked the Further clipboard support as claimed.

Thank you again to everyone who has ever donated to ROOL – you are directly supporting important developments to ensure RISC OS continues to improve and remains a viable Operating System for years to come!

Oh look, the compiler uses “an intermediate representation”. ;-)

It compiles C code and inline assembler to an intermediate instruction set (known as “jopcodes”), and the ARM backend can generate ARMv5 (and a few ARMv6 instructions) from these jopcodes.
