Update to ARM code-generator
by David.Matthews＠prolingua.co.uk 25 Jan '22

25 Jan '22

The long-promised update to the ARM code-generator is now in Git master. This builds on the old version by adding the register allocation strategy borrowed from the X86 version as well as low-level peephole optimisation. On my Apple M1 processor it now seems to be faster than X86 code with Rosetta. There are still some improvements to be made, particularly with floating point, but no major changes are anticipated. It includes one optimisation that isn't present on the X86 at the moment: small tuples are returned in registers rather than on the stack. Please try it and let me know how it goes. David

Poly/ML package in Debian and Ubuntu

Does anyone know anything about the polyml package in Debian and Ubuntu? It seems that the currently packaged version is still 5.7.1. I've seen a couple of bug reports that have turned out to be issues that have long since been fixed. I'm quite happy to have Poly/ML packaged for distributions but if they get out of date then they become a problem. David
