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.?

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.
This is really great.
I have now started to make some tests with Isabelle + AFP, and will come back eventually with reports (and potential problems).
